At the end of his debut runway, for a collection entitled “American Sabotage”, Rocky paraded around the room with a Don’t Be Dumb vinyl in hand. American Sabotage newspapers – among a bevy of other graphic posters – are hung throughout the ornate venue and read “Don’t Be Dumb. You Know What to Do. Blame Rocky!”
