Five Saks Fifth Avenue employees have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Local and federal authorities have broken up an identity theft ring made up of workers who allegedly stole customer information and used it to buy $400,000 worth of luxury bags and shoes that were then resold on the black market.
Thursday night saw New York’s fashion folk check in at the opening party for “Shoe Obsession,” the new exhibition at the Museum at FIT. Sponsored by Saks Fifth Avenue, guests included Alexandre Birman, Jessica Hart, Fern Mallis, Edmundo Castillo and more. The exhibit runs through April 13; an accompanying book is also due out in April.
From noon to 2 p.m. tomorrow afternoon, shoe designer Stuart Weitzman will be at Saks Fifth Avenue for an exclusive meet and greet to discuss the ins and outs of his Resort 2013 collection. Saks will donate 10 percent of all events proceeds to Fashion 4 Development, a global initiative in support of the United Nations Milennium Development Goals.
