Harry Brant, Once ‘NYC’s Most Beautiful Teen,’ Dead at 24
Harry Brant, who found fame as a precocious teenage aesthete with a distinctive androgynous look and was a staple of New York’s elite fashion scene with his elder brother Peter, was found dead on Sunday at age 24. He died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.
The New York Times said that he had struggled with addiction for several years and that according to his family he had been due to shortly enter rehab.
Harry was the son of Stephanie Seymour, one of the original supermodels, and Peter M. Brant, the publisher and art collector. As such he grew up in a gilded world, partying his way around the nightclubs, yachts and restaurants of the world accompanied by supermodels, famous photographers and social media stars.
He counted Naomi Campbell (his mother’s maid of honor) and Courtney Love as friends. He dated his friendship with the latter to their first encounter, saying: “We were friends from the first time we met and realized we were carrying around the same book on Greek mythology.”
