It is with great sadness that we share this news: Susan O. Posen, mother, wife, sister ,grandmother, friend, mentor, champion, left this world on Thursday, April 16th, at the age of 80, after a three-year battle with cancer. She was a force. Brilliant, generous and inimitable. She loved fiercely and was adored beyond measure, by family and by the extraordinary circle of friends she gathered and kept throughout her life. She lived magnificently, personally and professionally, and she left us serenely, with a Mona Lisa smile on her face. We are profoundly grateful.
In lieu of flowers or food, a donation to the @aclu_nationwide or @plannedparenthood would honor her wishes.

A closer look at my Met Gala fitting. We reimagined the proportions of the @Gap Icon jacket in rich midnight blue leather developed with @seks.llc and grounded the look in relaxed denim inspired by classic Gap essentials. #GapStudio
