A memorial for the late Harry Brant – son of supermodel Stephanie Seymour and billionaire Peter Brant – was held on Thursday.
Only family members were able to attend the service due to COVID-19 security measures, but Brant’s family asked those who knew him to light a candle in his honor at 7 pm
Harry died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs at age 24 on Sunday.
“Today we lay down to rest and honor the life of my brother, a true angel of light, an extraordinarily unique soul, unlike any that has ever existed,” wrote his brother Peter on Instagram.
He continued: “It is impossible to express the devastation I feel for the loss of someone with whom I shared not only a life of beautiful memories, but also of someone who cared deeply for my own happiness and who dedicated himself so much to my personal comfort. It is the loss not only of a brother, but of a best friend, my other half. My heart breaks when I think that we will never see that sweet and dear face again. “
The brothers used to be seen together at the hottest parties in New York and in the front row of major international fashion shows. Harry was known for his gender-oriented fashion sense and the brothers created a unisex makeup line for MAC Cosmetics.
“He has achieved a lot in his 24 years, but we will never have a chance to see how much more Harry could have done,” his family said in a statement.
“Our hearts are broken. Harry wanted to overcome his addiction and was just days away from rehab. We will forever be sad that Harry’s life was interrupted by this devastating illness. We ask that you allow the privacy of our family while we try to deal with the loss of our beautiful, beautiful boy, ”says the statement.
There was an expression of sympathy on the part of the main stylists mourning the loss.
