Supermodel Naomi Campbell wrote a touching tribute to Harry Brant after he died of an accidental drug overdose on Sunday at the age of 24.
“It took me a few days to understand this and digest the fact that my beautiful godson Harry Brant went to the spirit world,” she wrote in an Instagram post.
“Since you were a baby, you had this innate magical joy, that you bought [sic] to everyone around you, ”she said.
Campbell and Brant’s mother, Stephanie Seymour, was part of an exclusive group of elite supermodels during the 1980s and 1990s. Campbell also served as one of Seymour’s bridesmaids when she married Brant’s father, Peter, in 1995.
Campbell remembered Harry causing quite a stir in the fashion community, even as a child.
“I was going to take him to my meetings and they would ask me if they could hire him. You weren’t even 10 years old. Smart as a whip, creativity exploding from you at all levels, ”she wrote.
“Harry, you took a piece of my heart. We never judge ourselves. Our ship has always been honest. Too young .. to go. I will love you unconditionally always, and I know [late designer Azzedine Alaïa] and [late Vogue Italia editor Franca Sozzani] will take care of you on the other side! Where we will meet and have joy once again. “
She signed: “Your godmother”.
