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.

Neon Slacks and Jean Jackets

Designer Christopher Kane has presented his new J Brand line to be displayed at Barneys on Thursday, Nov. 10. The DayGlo-tastic collection is said to be synonymous with "neon," according to Style.com, and it consists of shorts and long flares in colors like highlighter yellow, bubble-gum pink, and safety-zone orange.

DayGlo-tastic also entails corresponding cropped jean jackets to be paired with the neon slacks. The entire line can be found at Barneys, with all pieces under $300 — not too bad!

Jeff Rudes, founder and CEO of J Brand, interviewed Kane, discussing topics like TV, fast food, and of course his forte, the fashion world. The designer described women from his native home of Scotland as his inspiration due to the fact that, "They aren't even trying," Kane said.

First Look at J Brand & Christopher Kane's 2012 Collab!

After last year's collaboration for the 5x5 project between Christopher Kane and J Brand, it comes as no shock to most of the fashion industry that another collaboration was on the horizon. The newest project between this duo has come alive as a line of denim for Kane's 2012 Resort collection.

Kane and J Brand recently released the first images of the collection, which takes this year's denim trends and mixes it with Kane's signature neon colors. The line features everything from jean jackets, to flared jeans, and back to close cut capris. Prices start around $300, and the designer hopes for not only another collaboration, but a long term partnership between the two brands.
