This move by the brand has left many stunned and many other speculating that it may be a publicity stunt or a technical glitch. Some others, however, have speculated that the brand’s creative director Daniel Lee made the decision to create more buzz about the brand than social media can create for them.
As time goes on, we can only just watch and see what will happen.

On Monday, Grand Theft Auto V featured its first fashion brand by dressing 3 of its characters in the Polish label Misbhv. The label posted 3 characters that are the resident DJs in the game’s underground club, the Music Locker wearing their pieces.
In the image, the trio was shown stepping out of a plane wearing different Misbhv pieces with one of them sporting a yellow and pink tie-dye t-shirt that had “Misbhv Keinemusik” on the chest.

Virtual reality is a new and exciting form of this dialogue.” Players will be allowed to purchase the Misbhv pieces at five clothing stores in the fictional city of Los Santos.
