Olivier shared the news on Instagram, revealing that the theft happened while a driver was moving the pieces from the airport to the brand’s headquarters.

“Today I went to the office at 9 am waiting for the last pieces for our show , our Balmain show in September. I was starting to create some looks with my team and our driver called us and said that he was highjacked by a group of people,” he wrote. “More than 50 Balmain pieces stolen. He was driving from the airport to the Balmain headquarter.”

He continued, writing, “This is so unfair. My team and I worked so hard. We will work more , days and nights, our suppliers will work days and night as well but this is so disrespectful. I wanted to share this with you to remind you , don’t take anything for guaranteed and please be safe. This is the world we are living in.”

There was some good news, though. “Thank god , the driver is safe,” Olivier informed his followers.

We are so sorry that this happened and hope that everything can come together before their show!
