ANDRE VAN NOORD

After fighting a long illness, Andre has left us.

This time it is not on some photo shoot, somewhere, far, no; this time there will be no delayed flight back, or train. Andre knew it.

He prepared his family, his loved ones, to accept what was inevitable.

He said goodbye to his friends. A brave and courageous way to say farewell.

Andre was a fashion icon. He was always true to himself, to his style, earned the respect of all.

During 32 years we shared a good, strong relationship which ends today, abruptly.

No discussion possible, we are stunned and very sad.
