The French fashion brand Balmain is facing a big problem. They had some new clothes that were going to be shown at a fashion event in Paris later this month. But a truck carrying these clothes was stolen. Olivier Rousteing, who is in charge of the fashion design at Balmain, talked about this on Instagram. He said that the thieves took about 50 pieces of clothing from Balmain’s new collection.
This happened while the truck was moving from an airport in Paris to the Balmain headquarters in the city. The good news is that the person driving the truck is safe.
Olivier Rousteing also let out his frustration, saying this was super disrespectful, you know? Balmain had big plans to show off their 2024 spring-summer gear on September 27th during the Paris fashion week. That’s the same gig where you see other big-name fashion brands like Louis Vuitton, Dior, Chanel, and Hermes. Balmain’s spokesperson confirmed that despite the big theft, the Paris fashion show is still on. They didn’t spill more beans because there’s some investigation going down.
Now, here’s the lowdown – Balmain is owned by some company called Mayhoola, and word on the street is they’re backed by the royal bigwigs from Qatar.
