Louvre Heist: How Thieves Stole “Priceless” Jewelry in 7 Minutes

Daniel Roseberry wants you to steal a glance at his latest collection. It may just look familiar. 

Ahead of his Paris Haute Couture Week show Jan. 26, the Schiaparelli designer revealed that his jewelry designs will be elevated recreations of the opulent diamonds stolen from the Louvre Museum last October.

“I was going home for a walk from the office, it was right after the jewels had been stolen from the Louvre,” Daniel, 41, told Vanity Fair in an interview published Jan. 26. “And I was like, wouldn’t it be nice to reimagine the Louvre jewels that were stolen?”

In the movie-like heist, four masked burglars stole nine pieces of jewelry—worth around $102 million—from the Louvre's Apollo Gallery Oct. 19, which have yet to be recovered. From start to finish, it took the thieves seven minutes to nab priceless necklaces, tiaras and brooches. Authorities confirmed that museum staff sustained no injuries during the robbery. 

Among the stolen goods was an emerald and diamond necklace and a pair of matching earrings that Napoleon Bonaparte gave to his wife Marie Louise, as well as a sapphire necklace by Napoleon’s stepdaughter Hortense.

Two crowns of Empress Eugénie, empress to Napoleon III in the 19th century, were also stolen. For the collection, Daniel—who was appointed creative director of Maison Schiaparelli in 2019—reimagined one tiara with even more grandeur, noting the fashion house “made it more three dimensional.”

As for what inspired the label’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection? Well, that would be the answer to two major questions.

First, “what does anger look like when it’s used for beauty?,” Daniel asked himself while conceptualizing the fashion line. And second, “What does joy look like, where does the joy come from?” 

He added, “Anger is so much of it, but I wanted to turn it into something inspiring.”

And for Daniel, taking risks is just the name of the game.

“It feels like the moment to do something extremely turbo-charged,” he explained. “The last few seasons have been disciplined, toned down, and very controlled and this time I wanted to peacock a little bit, and just have fun with it.”
