Another year is coming to an end, and 2021 really made its mark on the industry. From farewells to new beginnings, from launches to anniversaries, here’s a look at the highlights of the year.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>

Goodbye to the greats <\/strong><\/h2>

2021 was a year in which we lost some of the greatest minds of the fashion industry. At the beginning of the year, the world learned that Fred Segal, one of the most important players in the retail industry, passed away at the age of 83. Then, in March, we said goodbye to the iconic Elsa Peretti, Halston’s muse, who became a jewelry designer for Tiffany & Co. The celebrated couturier<\/em> Alber Elbaz, who positioned Lanvin as one of the most chic and jovial brands in the world, passed away on April 25. On November 28, the world was shocked when LVMH announced that Virgil Abloh, Artistic Director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear line and founder of Off-White, had passed away after a long battle with cancer. And finally, last Thursday, December 23, the iconoclast and writer Joan Didion died at the age of 86. Yes, this was a year in which we lost great men and women, and the names on this list are just a few. They all leave behind a legacy and their special mark on the world, in which they showed us their talent, broke the rules, and marched to the beat of their own drum.<\/p>
