95 year old FASTfood

I recently discovered a 95 year old fashion icon by the name of Zelda Kaplan, famous not only for being an inspiration in the fashion scene, but also for being a “club kid” at heart, often partying into the morning hours at some of New York’s most exclusive nightlife parties.

I was quite shocked to find out that she recently passed away (about a week ago). Zelda Kaplan died, collapsing in the front row Joanna Mastroianni’s runway show during New York Fashion Week.

Kaplan appeared to faint in her seat after the models had started walking down the runway. Security carried her out of the show, where she got CPR before an ambulance arrived and took Kaplan to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Kaplan was known for her distinctive style, favoring bold African prints, hats and oversized sunglasses–as well as her youthful spirit and boundless energy.

When I grow up, I want to be a granny just like her!

May her soul rest in peace!
