Pamela Hogg, the renowned Scottish fashion designer, has died at the age of 66, as confirmed by her family. Known for her bold and eccentric designs, Hogg worked with numerous high-profile celebrities, including Rihanna, Kate Moss, Lady Gaga, and Beyoncé. Her family announced her passing in a heartfelt statement on social media, expressing their deep sadness and describing her final moments as "peaceful and surrounded by the loving care of cherished friends and family." Born in Paisley, Hogg studied fine art and printed textiles at the Glasgow School of Art before furthering her education at the Royal College of Art in London. She launched her first fashion collection, "Psychedelic Jungle," in 1981, quickly establishing herself as a significant figure in British fashion. Her family thanked the staff at St Joseph’s Hospice in Hackney for their support during her final days. They stated, "Pamela’s creative spirit and body of work touched the lives of many people of all ages. She leaves a magnificent legacy that will continue to inspire, bring joy and challenge us to live beyond the confines of convention." Tributes have poured in from the fashion community. Broadcaster Fearne Cotton referred to Hogg as a "true icon," noting that she "never played by the rules and worked from the heart and soul." Designer Bella Freud lamented the loss, saying, "How sad to think of the fashion world without her shining brilliance." The rock band Garbage, featuring Scottish singer Shirley Manson, paid tribute on Instagram, calling Hogg "our dear, most distinguished doctor" and "our revered Scottish fashion queen." They praised her brilliance, bravery, and extraordinary sense of humour, stating, "The world has lost a bona fide original. A one of one. A jewel of a human being. You will be missed." Hogg's legacy in the fashion industry is marked by her innovative use of materials like latex and mesh, which often drew comparisons to fellow designer Vivienne Westwood. Throughout her career, she dressed a multitude of iconic figures, including Siouxsie Sioux, Björk, Kylie Minogue, Grace Jones, and Debbie Harry, solidifying her status as a trailblazer in the world of fashion.
