NEW YORK (AP) – Harry Brant, an emerging model and son of supermodel Stephanie Seymour and publisher Peter M. Brant, has passed away. He was 24.
The younger Brant died of an accidental overdose on Sunday, his family said in a statement to The New York Times, saying, “his life was cut short by this devastating disease.”
“He was a creative, loving and powerful soul who brought light to the hearts of so many people,” the statement said. “He was a really beautiful person inside and out.”
Brant had appeared in Italian Vogue and in campaigns for the fashion house Balmain. He had previously worked with his brother – Peter Brant, Jr. – a unisex makeup line released for MAC cosmetics.
“I think people can definitely express themselves in a great way through makeup because it’s all about fantasy and turning yourself into someone you don’t necessarily have to be every day, so you can escape for the night with this one new personal, “Brant told W magazine in 2016.” That’s what I always did. “
His parents told the Times he planned to enter rehab this year and hoped to play a role in the creative side of Interview magazine, which his father publishes.
“He’s accomplished a lot in his 24 years, but we’ll never get the chance to see how much more Harry could have done,” the family statement said.
