Stella Tennant made her name in modeling by eschewing the traditionally feminine aesthetics that made stars out of her contemporaries. With her blunt pixie cut and piercing stare, she was the darling of ’90s fashion.

Tennant, who maintained her edge throughout her lengthy career in fashion, died this week at age 50, Vogue reported. Tennant’s family, including her husband, David Lasnet, and their four children, confirmed the news in a statement to the fashion outlet.

“It is with great sadness we announce the sudden death of Stella Tennant on 22 December 2020,” the statement read. “Stella was a wonderful woman and an inspiration to us all. She will be greatly missed.”
