PARIS (AP) 鈥� Balmain artistic director says robbers have made off with more than 50 pieces of the new collection that his Paris house intends to show at later this month.
Posting overnight Sunday , Rousteing said a group of people hijacked his delivery driver on the way from an airport to Balmain's Paris headquarters. He said they made off with the last pieces he'd been expecting for the Sept. 27 womenswear show 鈥� more than 50 items in all. He didn't detail the pieces.
鈥淥ur delivery was hijacked,鈥� he wrote. 鈥淭hank God, the driver is safe.鈥�
"So many people worked so hard to make this collection," he added. 鈥淲e are redoing everything but this is so so disrespectful.鈥�
鈥淲e won鈥檛 give up.鈥�
He didn't specify which airport the delivery driver was coming from. Paris has two main international airports. Rousteing wrote that he'd been waiting in his office Saturday morning when 鈥渙ur driver called us and said that he was hijacked by a group of people.鈥�
鈥淭his is so unfair. My team and I worked so hard,鈥� he wrote. 鈥淲e will work more, days and nights. Our suppliers will work days and night as well.鈥�
Paris police directed Associated Press questions to prosecutors who couldn't immediately be reached for comment on the weekend.
