Fashion designer Ted Lapidus, whose career soared in the 1960s and 1970s with the unisex and safari look, died Monday at age 79 in a hospital in Cannes on the French Rivera.
“He died at 2:30 pm. He had suffered for several years from leukemia and died of respiratory failure,” said Rose Torrente-Mett, his sister, also a fashion designer.
Lapidus will be buried on Friday at Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris.
Edmond Lapidus, known as Ted, was born on June 23, 1929 in Paris. He was the son of a Russian immigrant tailor who opened his fashion house in 1958.
His customers included French film stars Brigitte Bardot and Alain Delon.
French president Nicolas Sarkozy paid homage to Lapidus as “the poet of high fashion” and extended his condolences to Olivier Lapidus, the designer’s son who continues his father’s work.

After a split with her jail-bound boyfriend, Anne Hathaway is trying on new outfits in both her private and professional lives, she tells Sally Singer in Vogue. A London shopping trip may find Anne Hathaway a bit unsure, but colleagues don’t mince words in praising her on-screen growth: She’s the “real deal,” the director of her current film, Bride Wars, says.
Reflecting on the end of her affair with Raffaello Follieri, Hathaway admits “it’s a complicated situation that has the ability to define me in ways I am not comfortable with.” Hathaway is defining herself as she forges ahead, snatching a sleeveless wrap off a packed rack. “I can go on a date in this. Oh, my God. That’s such a weird thought!”

The entire collection is done with this gray gold and diamonds. A modern classic, no colors, elegant and bright. These Frise jewellery should look dramatically ideal with a dress at night.

Certainly the fun AZ collection offers the most original pieces, because I have loved the designs of this line. This is original and fun pin with varied shapes and colors. In this case we appreciate the aesthetics of an interesting sanantonio with Swarovski crystals embedded in its upper part.
The collection has several pre-selected materials such as crystals among other variety of stones that also give much color to all its models. On the other hand we see that even more promising luxury have a complete gold-plating, generating more brilliancy and glory to the naked eye.
