STOLEN: Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2012

Marc Jacobs's spring/summer 2012 collection was stolen while being transferred from Paris. Yesterday, there was a scheduled press preview which had to be cancelled due to the unfortunate news.

Marc Jacobs emailed a press release that stated:

"Dear all, the Marc Jacobs PR team is sorry to inform you that our press day in Marc Jacobs store [in London] is cancelled, due to the theft of the spring/summer 2012 collections during its transfer from Paris."

The robbery took place on London's Mount Street, where thieves stole the entire 46-piece collection. It is believed that the thieves are counterfeiters and that the designs will soon be popular knockoffs.

Although the theft of a collection sounds rare, this is not the first time it has occurred. In 2007, Christoper Kane's entire spring/summer 2008 collection was stolen and, in 2009, Victoria Beckham reportedly had $552,000 worth of dresses stolen en route to Neiman Marcus New York.
