The fashion industry is mourning the death of the legendary journalist, with Stella McCartney, who also happens to be Jack’s godmother, leading the tributes with a touching Instagram post on Tuesday.
Buckley “died of natural causes following a long illness,” according to a statement from Ford’s reps.
Our dear and sweet friend, Richard Buckley, passed away. It is hard to believe he is gone. You go back and reread texts and emails and try to believe they’re still here, as if some new message will appear. Richard was one of the funniest, most wildly creative, people I know. pic.twitter.com/5B5wj9DLbe
