For more than 40 years, Stephanie Seymour has relished being in front of a camera. She's one of the inaugural '90s-era supers, one of the rare models who appeared on both haute couture runways and Playboy covers. “The original baby woman” is how fellow supermodel Naomi Campbell refers to Seymour, describing her ability to be both naive and sensual, an all-American pinup and a high-fashion muse. Having worked with the biggest names in photography, including Richard Avedon, Herb Ritts and Peter Lindbergh, Seymour has built her career by happily submitting to the gods of the photo shoot.
Until this one.
"It was almost a year in the making, this shoot,” Seymour tells writer
@derekblasberg . The reason for her hesitation to be in front of the camera again? In January 2021, her 24-year-old son, Harry Brant, a model and beloved fashion-industry habitué, died of an accidental prescription drug overdose in New York City. Suddenly the flashbulbs stopped.
Here, in her first interview and photo shoot since Harry's passing, Seymour opens up about her family's tragic loss. (That's Harry's Saint Laurent suit she's wearing in the last slide.) I'm so grateful to Stephanie and
