WHILE this year saw the revival of live events in the worlds of style and entertainment, it also took away some of fashion’s brightest stars and the screen’s trailblazing talents. This heartbreaking loss of pop-culture icons is felt both in the local and international scenes.

Grease icon Olivia Newton-John died aged 73 following a battle with breast cancer. John Travolta, her leading man, left a loving tribute: “Your impact was incredible. I love you so much.”
Louise Fletcher, who won an Oscar for her role as the iconic villain Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest , died on September 23, aged 88. William Hurt, who won an Oscar for his role as an effeminate homosexual in Kiss of the Spider Woman , died on March 13, aged 71. I was obsessed with him in Body Heat and Broadcast News . Also bidding us farewell were Paul Sorvino, James Caan, Ray Liotta and Bob Saget.
This year, the pageant world was shocked when Miss USA 2019 Cheslie Kryst jumped to her death on January 30. At only 30, Cheslie was an attorney who also hosted Extra, for which she was nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards. She reigned in a year that saw Black beauty queens also winning Misses Universe, World, Teen USA and America.
Filipino fashion also lost some of its stellar talents. Besides Fanny Serrano, 2022 also took away young designer Yako Reyes, who taught fashion at the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde.
