I remember reading an article awhile ago about him. I think he had a quick rise to fame because he was appointed the head of a major fashion house (Givenchy?) at a young age. IIRC, he had a reputation as having a brash, punk-like attitude that didn't jive well with the industry. The only thing that brought this on my radar is how many Brit DJs/producers I follow on Twitter have tweeted RIP just now. And I'm aware I've opened up the flaming homo lolOMG!!11! target on myself.
