This clothing store gets more cryptic by the week. As if this earlier posting wasn’t bad enough, we now have ‘divided girls’ on two floors, with ‘divided boys’ getting some space on the ground floor. The big question on my mind is where’s the added value of confusing people?

1. The word “divided” is between brackets on the site, and could use a capital letter.
2. The link mentions an “on line” campaign, whereas this was an “in store” sign.
