My Take
Stella Tennant is one of those faces I associate with the moment fashion swerved hard in the early 1990s. Standing 180cm with that aristocratic, slightly androgynous edge, she felt like a deliberate rebuke to the polished glamour that came before her, and a near-30-year career proves it wasn't a fluke. What stays with me is how she became a fixture for the houses that mattered without ever seeming to chase trends. Her death in December 2020, just days after her 50th birthday, hit me as genuinely sad, the kind of loss that reframes how you remember a whole era of imagery.
