John Bates, English fashion designer who worked under the name Jean Varon, dead after cancer battle: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/257632/bates

 

Of particular interest to @msc among others here for his designs for Diana Rigg as Emma Peel in The Avengers.

 

IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0060944/

 

Wiki has him born 1938, IMDB has him born 1935. So who knows, the death notice isn't helping.

Carla Fendi died aged 79.


And now Franca Fendi has died aged 87.

3 of the 5 Fendi sisters remain. Anna Fendi (wiki), who is 89, is the most prominent. Paola Fendi is the oldest, at 91. Alda Fendi is the youngest, at 82.

Franca Fendi lands a Telegraph obit.

Somewhat surprised as Franca was one of the more obscure of the five. All but guaranteed that all 3 of the other living sisters will land QOs now.

Wiki says Vivianne Westwood has died. I don't fully believe it yet.

Edit: Well, it's coming from her own Twitter page... unless somebody faked that.

She did look very frail there, final official picture? Maybe cancer?

 

Unfortunately, not a DDP pick.

she was one of my personal favorite designer. So sad, really, I was sure she wouldn't live to 90 but I didn't expect her to go that soon. RIP

Absolutely. Even if I see a lot more people reacting to her death rather than Pelés one (but I’m in fashion studies so of course)
