Kaat Tilley, a tribute

                                Photo: de standaard.be

I just heard the sad news on the radio of Kaat Tilley, a well known Belgian fashion designer,  passing away today at the age of 52. 
Kaat Tilley who graduated from the Antwerp Academy had her own unique and particular style. She mixed colors, materials, different layers and created dreamy, romantic clothing. She was a very special lady.
According to her personal website "Her views do not adhere to trends rather they reflect more of a life story by mirroring a woman's journey and the lesson learned through living life. Kaat Tilley drives esthetics to the extreme... her world balances between female fragility and strength..."
The fashion community lost one of its creative and very talented members.

    Een eerbetoon, Anni, aan de 'lady' van de romantische, vaak sprookjesachtige ontwerpen...
    Lie(f)s.

    Anni,

    I'm so sorry to hear about Kaat Tilley. Even though I hadn't heard of her, I hate to hear that someone with such creativity and spirit passed away at such an early age.

    May God be with her. :(

    So sad to lose someone, not only much too young, but so talented as well! My thoughts are with her friends and family.

    Ik had nog nooit van haar gehoord maar ik ken ook de modewereld niet. Haar werk lijkt me wel mooi. Bedankt om te delen. Altijd triest om zo jong uit het leven te worden getrokken.

    Groetjes,
    Filip

    Ik kan haar niet, maar dat moet een groot verlies zijn. Heb de website bekeken en ze maakte originele mode. Een veel te jonge leeftijd om te sterven.

    Hallo Anni,
    Een groot verlies voor de sector die de laatste decennia in volle opmars is... Ons landje moet zeker niet onder doen voor de franse en amerikaanse couturiers!
    Groetjes, Frans

    So sad that she passed away. She was a true artist, focused on her designs, not on commercial aspects of fashion business.
    Too early to go!

    Bonjour Anni.
    Suis de retour sur la toile après 3 semaines de vacances.
    Mauvaise nouvelle chez toi, Trop jeune et sans doute trop talentueuse pour partir.
    Désolée
