Harry Brant, son of supermodel Stephanie Seymour and magazine publisher Peter Brant, has passed away at 24. According to a statement published by his family, Harry passed away on Sunday Jan. 17, of an unintentional overdose of prescription medications. “We will forever be saddened that his life was cut short by this devastating disease,” his family said in a statement the New York Times. “He achieved a lot in his 24 years, but we will never get the chance to see how much more Harry could have done.”
“Harry was not just our son,” the family statement continued. “He was also a wonderful brother, loving grandson, favorite uncle and a caring friend. He was a creative, loving and powerful soul that brought light into so many people’s hearts. He was truly a beautiful person inside and out.”
Harry is also known for collaborating with his brother to create a unisex makeup line that can be used on the stage, screen or in life in general. Harry told W magazine: “The gender lines are starting to blur again, which is really, really great. People are starting to be more celebrated for their creativity. And I really think that once you leave high school, you realize that being normal is something that people want to shy away from, and the more true you are to yourself and the more individual you are, the more people are inherently attracted to you.”
“So, I think people can definitely express themselves in a great way through makeup, because it is all about fantasy and turning yourself into someone you might not necessarily be on an everyday basis, so you kind of get to escape for a night with this new personal,” he added. “That’s what I always did.”
