Breaking news: Fashion Designer to the stars, Pam Hogg, has died at age 66, according to multiple news sources.

Pam designed many of the items worn by stars such as Rihanna, Kate Moss, and Debbie Harry from Blondie. 

Pam wore her trademark Blonde hair, red lipstick and winged eyeliner. She past away with friends and family.

via the Guardian:

 She appeared on the front of i-D in 1989, and on the Wogan Show in 1990 – the day after her birthday party. “I was off my head,” she told the Guardian in 2018. “I was wearing my black PVC leggings and Terry Wogan remarked that they looked uncomfortable. So my immediate reaction was: ‘Are they?’ and I sat on his lap.”

Hogg’s rock’n’roll spirit lent itself to her next move – as fashion moved to a more minimal look in the 1990s, she swapped the catwalk for the stage, as the lead singer in the band Doll. Opening for the likes of Blondie and the Raincoats, she continued to design with suitably extrovert costumes, and she retained her A-list circle. Remembering this era with the Gentlewoman magazine in 2017, Hogg described an outfit with a Ziggy Stardust flash she had made. “Last year I took it to Kate Moss’s for her Bowie-themed birthday party at her Cotswolds home,” she said. “When I got there, she immediately tore off the amazing couture dress she was wearing and put it on. That was kind of gratifying.”

Pam said to The Guardian:

“I’m just glad not to be termed normal. Fuck normality!” This is something she will no doubt be remembered for. As her family wrote on Instagram, with the news of her death: “Pamela’s creative spirit and body of work touched the lives of many people of all ages and she leaves a magnificent legacy that will continue to inspire, bring joy and challenge us to live beyond the confines of convention.”
