Stolen Style: The Most Memorable Fashion Heists

Justin Fenner — Sat, 25 May 2013 05:00:54 PDT

Another day, another multi-million dollar jewelry heist at the Cannes Film Festival. It's just been reported that on Tuesday, a de Grisogono necklace worth $2.6 million was stolen from a party the brand was having in Cannes.

"These incidents are rare; it is actually the first time it has happened in our 20-year history," said de Grisogono's founder Fawaz Gruosi in a statement. "However when they occur, one must be proactive and collaborate with the authorities."

Police in France are also still on the hunt for the jewelry stolen from a Chopard employee's hotel room in Cannes, but there are plenty of other, much older fashion and jewelry thefts that still haven't been completely solved. Case in point: only a portion of the legendary raid at the Harry Winston store in Paris was ever found, and it doesn't appear that all of Marc Jacobs's stolen Spring 2012 samples were found.

Herein, a look at some of the most brazen, lucrative, and strange thefts in fashion.

Shoo, Fly! DIY Plastic Bottle Bug Trap

Sarah Lipoff — Sat, 25 May 2013 05:00:48 PDT

Keep pesky bugs and wasps away while enjoying lunch on your patio this Summer with a homemade wasp trap that repurposes a plastic bottle. Along with being seriously easy to make, the trap can be dumped, rinsed, and reused. Perfect for using in small spaces or spots that highly attract wasps, like balconies or rooftop terraces, these bug traps can be discreetly tucked in corners while still being effective.

Here's how to make your own wasp trap:

Any size plastic bottle works for creating the trap. Simply remove the cap and the label from the bottle, and use scissors to cut away the top fourth of the bottle.
Now invert the top of the bottle into the bottom, creating a funnel. There should be at least a one-inch space between the end of the funnel and the bottom of the bottle.
Mix together a sweet bug- and wasp-attracting solution of two parts warm water to one part sugar, and carefully pour into the wasp trap, leaving at least a half-inch gap between the sugar water and the end of the funnel.
Place the wasp trap outdoors, and let it do its job. Bugs are attracted to the sweet water, fly down the funnel for a taste, and then are contained in the trap. Add more sugar water as needed, and empty and reuse after the trap has done its job.
