The fashion world lost one of its greatest designers a few days ago, namely Issey Miyake. The well-known Japanese passed away at the age of 84, without his death being explained. His disappearance was simply confirmed by a member of his office. “He died on the evening of August 5“, would have entrusted one of its employees on the phone, refusing to be named.
Despite the mystery surrounding his death, Issey Miyake is honored in the hearts of personalities. Geraldine Maillet notably paid his respects on Instagram during the day on Tuesday, August 9. In story, she shared a photo of herself back when she was still a model. A time during which, the columnist of Do not touch My TV just had the chance to collaborate with the late designer. “It was amazing to work for Issey Miyake in the 90s. His talent, his modernity, his kindness… A dozen parades in Paris or Japan. And his passion for our two cultures evoked during incredible dinners in Tokyo“, she remembered in the commentary of the photo in question. She appears very young there, her face smooth and equipped with a refined makeup. Her gaze fixed on the lens, Geraldine Maillet is almost unrecognizable! (See our slideshow).
Remember that thirty years ago, the journalist and novelist was a real beauty queen and had the chance to collaborate with several big names in fashion. Besides Issey Miyake, she crossed paths with Yves Saint-Laurent, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano and Alexander McQueen. The pretty brunette may have chosen to convert since or even to become the mother of a girl, now an 18-year-old teenager named Mathilde, she has lost none of her splendor as a model. Every year in summer, Geraldine Maillet even likes to make swimsuit parades on her social networks. And Internet users are always the first to compliment her. It’s to be sorry not to see her on the covers of magazines!
