Employees at Paul Smith were tight-lipped about what the new paint job would entail. When asked whether the Pink Wall was going away, one employee, who declined to give his name, told Mashable it was "not," but said he could not talk about what the changes would be.

A painter with the company Overall Murals, who was working on the project, said they were painting "stripes," and thought it might be connected to Paul Smith's new campaign. The painter was also hesitant to elaborate.

It's unclear when the Pink Wall will appear in its new, potentially striped form. This is a developing story.
