Marc Jacobs and the Parisian Job

It seems that some people just can’t wait to get their hands on spring 2012‘s collections. While a few select fashion houses, such as Burberry, let you buy pieces as soon as their runway showings’ finish, all the others leave us with that tedious wait between the show day and the release. What’s a person to do?

Steal the entire collection. Or, at least, that is the flavour of the day.


As an email from Marc Jacobs‘ press team revealed today;

Dear all,

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

As The Telegraph points out, this is no simple theft: it’s a total of 46 different looks that have been stolen.

Late one Oxford night Daniel P Dykes set about creating a fashion publication that would go someway to being an arbiter on fashion as it appeals to the emerging power generations: those who don't remember a world without the Internet and for whom work plays second fiddle to pleasure. And so Fashionising.com was born as a publication for those who were focussed not just on fashion's trends, but on society's too, and how those trends could all go to heighten the art of living. Hence, Daniel sees a future where, for those young at heart, both fashion and style are grounded in traditional quality, but with a youthful, sensualised edge. Daniel is Fashionising.com's Editor in Chief and Chairman.
