Supermodel Stella Tennant’s sudden death<\/a> aged 50 rocked the fashion industry overnight, with designers, models, makeup artists and photographers turning out en masse to pay their tributes to the legend. Tennant skyrocketed onto the world stage in the early ’90s, initially courting the fashion world’s interest thanks to her impressive lineage (her parents are aristocrats and her grandmother was Deborah Mitford, the youngest of the famous Mitford sisters).<\/p>\n

But she quickly asserted herself as one of the most dominant and engaging faces of her generation and became a muse to designers as disparate as Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, Helmut Lang, and Gianni Versace. Her often-discussed androgynous beauty was a cornerstone of the elegant minimalism that defined the nineties, though she continued to inspire designers for decades after that. In 2019 she walked for Alexander McQueen, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, and Burberry and appeared on multiple\u00a0Vogue<\/em> covers\u2014a feat for a woman aged 49, working in a notoriously ageist industry.<\/p>\n

Tennant is survived by her husband and four children, and is unanimously remembered as a class act\u2014a person of kindness and substance, who created images that will define her generation. Here, the fashion industry’s most touching tributes.<\/p>\n

“From the first time I met Stella I was completely blown away. Her beauty, style and body language combined with her manners, kindness, sense of humor and personality were like no other. We had so many adventures, shared flights, fun nights, shows and ads together over the years. My condolences to David and her family. What a terrible, heartbreaking loss. Rest In Peace dear Stella.”<\/p>\n
