What’s fashion without a good old scandal once in a while. Marc Jacobs, who is no stranger to scandal, is the victim of grand larceny at one of his Bleecker Street stores.
Kyle Avila, 24, was store manager (Marc hires ‘em young!) at the Marc by Marc Accessories store at 385 Bleecker Street until recently. The Kansas native, who also appeared nude in the past for a Marc Jacobs tee, was busted for stealing $62,000 from the store.
Co-manager Mike Okerson was the one who noticed the missing dough while doing routine receipt reviews. According to court documents obtained by the NY Post Avila told Okerson, “I’ve been stealing the money from the money drops. I have been doing it for a while”.
Okerson had given Avila a chance to return the money, but apparently Avila had already spent it and didn’t have an extra 62 G’s just lying around. Pity. Cops were called and the 24 year old thief is charged with grand larceny and put in jail after failing to post $2000 cash bail.
