Victoria Beckham suffered a fashion blow when her new £35,000 collection of dresses was stolen during a well thought out roadside heist at knife point.
The collection which includes between 50 and 75 dresses took Beckham months to design. The dresses were taken from a lorry that left Beckham’s West London management offices.
The driver was not seriously injured although he was bruised and shaken from being pushed to the ground during the hijack. Beckham was said to be devastated about the loss with a source including the fact that with everyone including Madonna is wearing her designs the dresses have a ‘money can’t touch’ air about them.
The source continued to say that the hijack was planned out perfectly and that the thieves must be sure they will sell well on black market. The lorry was supposed to deliver the dresses to the airport but stopped to make a delivery at another address.
The driver came back from the delivery and noticed the padlock was broken at which point the thieves jumped out of the back and ran off with the dresses.
Beckham was said to be notified immediately and was expectedly crushed, but glad to hear the driver was not injured. A cinema CCTV camera shows the hijack, but the pictures do not show the registration of the truck used by the thieves.
Since Beckham has started a fashion career her work has been seen on megastars such as Brooke Shields, Katherine Jenkins, and Drew Barrymore.
