Frank Ocean’s “Boys Don’t Cry” Takeover

In August 2016, Frank Ocean transformed our Mulberry store into one of four surprise pop-ups for Boys Don’t Cry, his 360+-page magazine released alongside Blonde. We filled the store with foil-wrapped copies across the shelves and windows, each holding a CD version of the album with a track list that differed from the digital release.

Copies were free, limited, and gone fast. Pays to follow us on Instagram, huh?
