Gucci Meatpacking Store Targeted By Thieves, Beyoncé’s Brand Is Here, Kaia Gerber For Valentino, Phoebe Philo’s Daughter Makes Runway Debut At Burberry, And More!

Gucci store held up by armed robbers in broad daylight 

The Gucci store in the Meatpacking district, on the corner of 14th Street and Ninth Avenue, was the victim of a substantial robbery yesterday over the holiday weekend. The theft was carried out by two men and one woman, who entered the store at 12.10PM wielding a gun and shouting at employees and shoppers to hit the ground. According to sources, the trio then made their getaway in a Honda CRV with a suspected $51,000 of stolen goods, including a Gucci luggage set, bags, and sunglasses. It’s believed they were driving towards the Holland Tunnel. The store remained closed on Sunday following the robbery. Surveillance from the store obtained by the media shows the entire incident but no suspects have been identified as of yet. The investigation is ongoing according to the NYPD.

Burberry assembled a stellar runway cast at London Fashion Week

For his most recent runway outing, Daniel Lee called up his old boss from their Celine days, none other than Phoebe Philo, to extend the invite for her daughter Maya Wigram to close his show. Well, we’re not sure how the casting went down exactly—all we know is that the aspiring 18-year-old model, the eldest child of Philo and her art dealer/gallerist husband Max Wigram, made her catwalk debut yesterday for the British heritage brand. She was in major company too. Naomi Campbell made her first appearance of the season, and Agyness Deyn even stepped out for the brand to open Lee’s third collection reveal. (The iconic Mancunian model made her return to the runway last October for Sacai during Paris Fashion Week after a four-year hiatus.) Familiar faces Karen Elson, Malaika Firth, Lily Donaldson, Lily Cole, and Edie Campbell, who were staple supermodels for the house for its campaigns and runway shows all through the noughties, also signed up to walk. See some standout looks from the collection, below:
