Awww. The passing of a legend. I'm sorry to hear of this, but I, for one, am grateful she was with us for so long and was as influential as she was. I think of the impact she had on all those amazing 'costumes' of the Fairfield Fashion Show in the 1980s + 90s, and the wonderful patterns she designed. I have some of hers that I've never made, but will consider them as collector's items now. She will be missed and not likely ever replaced, her shoes are surely too big, an icon. Rest in peace, Virginia.
