Legendary designer Isabel Toledo passed away today at 58.
, Isabel made an impression on him immediately: "She would show up to school with the most adventurous asymmetrical haircuts and yellow and charcoal tinted eyes," he said in 2015. "Just the most incredible things that a 13-year-old ever saw." In the same interview, he noted that he was carrying his wife's Chanel lipstick so that she could go bag-free.
The Toledos married in 1984—a year before Isabel showed her first collection—and quickly became inseparable, including when it came to work. Still, at least one of their longtime friends managed to join their café con leche routine:cofounder Kim Hastreiter, who was one of many to share her memories of Toledo after news of her death broke on Monday. Another to share a memory of Toledo was Alina Cho.
