It started with an innocent e-bay browse, and turned into a full-blown fashion sting operation. One of designer Sylvia Toledano's employees was surfing the site when she saw "a crystal-encrusted clutch" that had been loaned to 'Lipstick Jungle.' The bag -- and a Burberry coat -- was traced back to Arthur Moreira, 27, a stage manager who worked for the Brooklyn storage and production facility 'Lipstick Jungle' used.
Moreira was arrested Friday when "buyers" (who were really investigators) found 16 coats, suits and bags by Gucci and Prada and Fendi and Dolce & Gabbana (oh my!). Apparently, Moreira said he got the dream closet pieces when "they fell off the back of a truck." Get the total scoop on AP.
