Around fifty pieces from the spring-summer 2024 women’s collection that the stylist was to present during Paris Fashion Week – which takes place from September 25 to October 3 – were stolen during the night of Saturday September 16 to Sunday September 17. The driver was attacked between the airport and the headquarters of the fashion house in Paris, says Olivier Rousteing on Instagram.

“Today I went to the office at 9 a.m. waiting for the last pieces for our September show. I was starting to create looks with my team and our driver called us and said that “he had been the victim of hijacking (theft from a vehicle) by a group of people”.

Olivier Rousteing indicated “We’re redoing everything but it’s so disrespectful.” The presentation of its spring-summer 2024 women’s collection is set for September 27 at 8 p.m.
