Model icon Stephanie Seymour covers WSJ Magazine’s Spring Women’s Fashion issue, making her first supermodel appearance since the January 2021 death of her son Harry Brant due to an accidental overdose of prescription.

There is a deep sadness that pervades Seymour’s interview with Derek Blasberg — as can be expected when a mother has lost her son to a drug overdose. Daniel Jackson [IG] captures Stephnie’s poignant grief, photographing the woman who “has built her career by happily submitting to the gods of the photo shoot”, in the words of Blasberg.

Those gods include Herb Ritts, Peter Lindbergh, and Richard Avedon. Seymour had a long and lucrative career with Victoria’s Secret.

Neither Stephanie Seymour’s life nor Peter Brant’s was ever dull. In 2018, the New York Times shared ‘The Great Interview Magazine Caper’, writing “Andy Warhol’s magazine is dead. No wait, it’s back! Inside Peter Brant’s latest magic trick.”
