The house he founded in 1975 confirmed the news with “deep regret and a great sadness” in a statement, adding that the designer’s legacy would live on “via his art, his creativity, his love of nature, animals, and via his family whom he cherished”. Fausto Puglisi, who has been creative director of the brand since 2020, said that carrying on the founder’s legacy was the greatest honor of his career. “You may not be physically here with us anymore, but I know I will feel your spirit with me always,” Puglisi said.
A full obituary will be published shortly.
