Stephanie Seymour keeps her late son’s clothes in her dressing room: ‘I live in that room’

In 2021, Stephanie Seymour lost her youngest son to addiction. Harry Brant died from an accidental overdose at the age of 24. Seymour has been in deep grief ever since, and she hasn’t made any public statements that I’ve seen. Now she covers an issue of WSJ. Magazine to talk about what she’s learned over the past few years and how much she still thinks about her son. She has other children, all of them adults – Dylan Thomas Andrews (33), Peter Brant Jr. (29) and Lily Margaret Brant (18). She’s a grandmother too – Dylan recently welcomed a son, and they named him Harry after his uncle.

On losing her son: “If I think that Harry would love something, I do it, and it does help me with my grief,” she told the publication. That includes breathing new life into some of Harry’s favorite clothing items (Seymour remembers her model son styling her outfits since his elementary school years). In one of the black-and-white WSJ. photos, Seymour wears Harry’s favorite Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane suit. In the powerful image, she models the trousers and holds the jacket to her chest, while her bare back, turned towards the camera, bears her son’s name scripted with paint.

Harry’s favorite suit: “It’s a suit that I keep hanging in my dressing room, which is this big room where I keep all my stuff. I do my makeup there. I live in that room,” she shared of the sentimental piece. “I looked at that suit one night and I said, ‘I’m going to put it on.’ It fit me. It still feels so good to put his clothes on,” Seymour added, while revealing that she wants to continue to photograph Harry’s clothing because “he would love it.” Plus, she said, there’s a “whole flock of women that would love to wear his clothes and be photographed.”

She has grandchildren too: “I try to just be present. For me with holidays, and I’m sure a lot of other people can relate, it’s difficult now because I’m always thinking of what’s missing. There’s nothing that’s helped me get through all of this more than my grandchildren.” Like her role as “Grandma Stephanie,” which she said has brought her solace.

This just broke my heart, honestly. The fact that she keeps Harry’s clothes in her dressing room so she can look at them, and deciding to put them on. It’s just so poignant. Also… for some reason, I did think Stephanie and Peter Sr. were no longer together – they did separate at one point, but they reconciled and they’re apparently still together? Anyway, my heart goes out to her.
