Stephanie Seymour wears her late son Harry's clothes to 'help with the grief'

Stephanie Seymour says she wears her late son Harry Brant's favourite clothes to "help with the grief" as she reflects on two years since his accidental overdose.

The supermodel's beloved boy was just 24-years-old when he tragically died in 2021, which Stephanie, 54, says she's ready to now speak about.

In her first interview since losing her third born child, she details life after loss and why she continues to breathe life into Harry's dazzling wardrobe.

"If I think that Harry would love something, I do it, and it does help me with my grief," she explains in the cover story for WSJ. Magazine's Spring Women's Fashion Issue.

"It's a suit that I keep hanging in my dressing room, which is this big room where I keep all my stuff. I do my makeup there. I live in that room," she explained.

"I looked at that suit one night and I said, 'I'm going to put it on.' It fit me," Stephanie continued. "It still feels so good to put his clothes on."

He's believed to have suffered an accidental drug overdose after years of battling addiction issues, according to the New York Times.

Among those mourning his tragic death at the time was his brother Peter Jr and sister Lilly.

Taking to Instagram, Peter shared a poignant tribute post to honour his late brother, alongside a picture taken the day he died.

"Today we lay to rest, and honor the life of my brother, a true angel of light, an extraordinarily unique soul unlike any who have come before," he wrote.

"This photo taken on his last day, shows the eternal beauty he will forever hold."

Peter opened up about the deep bond he had with Harry, and admits his "heart shatters" over the thought of never seeing him again.

"It is impossible to express the devastation I feel for the loss of one with whom I shared not only a lifetime of beautiful memories, but with one who cared so deeply for my own happiness, was so devoted to my personal comfort," he continued.
