Hanae Mori, renowned Japanese fashion designer, dies at 96

Just a few days after Ise Miyake. A page is turned. RIP

Way ahead of her time. She was very talented.

The Stranglers song No More Heroes comes to mind.

Thanks for your butterflies, Mori Hanae.

Our work uniform was designed by Hanae Mori but no one who wore it liked it.

She put Shimane prefecture on the map!

Two true (worldwide) fashion icons dead in such a short space of time, Miyake and Mori. Sad times indeed.

I'm sorry @momoclo. but is you comment really necessary at the time of her death?

Another huge loss in the fashion industry... RIP Mori-san!

I will buy a book of her designs today.

96! Great innings! RIP

She is survived by her 2 sons.

From 1951 to 1965 she did a remarcable growth of her atelier, that is very reflective of her quality as entrepeneur. The photo in this article shows very complex dresses inn the models.

I can't stand her elder granddaughter, Izumi.
