The Fashion Figures We Lost in 2016

Bill Cunningham, 1929-2016.

2016 was a hard season all around. It was the season we missing both Bob Bowie and Royal prince. It was also the season we missing innovative developers like Sonia Rykiel, the king of knitwear, and André Courrèges, the master of favor futurism. Rich Avedon muse Chinese suppliers Machado, America's first non-white model, remaining us well.

 The design press said farewell to both Bill Cunningham, the father of street design photography, Franca Sozzani, the enduring and ever forward-looking manager of French Fashion, and Aileen Mehle, the sharp-tongued rumors journalist known as "Suzy." Under regular circumstances, the entire realm of favor is one that always looks toward what's next, but it is not without feeling, especially when it drops one of its own. Here we remember the developers, models, photography lovers and reporters and others–each a symbol in their own right–who made their mark in the entire realm of design and elegance before they remaining us this season.
