The fashion industry is in absolute shock after hearing the news: Stella Tennant, the British aristocratic model and inspiration to so many designers such as Karl Lagerfeld, Pier Paolo Piccioli, Gianni Versace, John Galliano or Tom Ford. In addition, photographers like Mario Testino, Bruce Webber, Steven Meisel, artists like Elizabeth Peyton, fashion editors like Carine Roitfeld and Franca Sozzani were also big advocates and friends.
