The Top Story

Peter Brant II — the son of supermodel Stephanie Seymour and high-profile businessman Peter Brant — is honoring his late brother Harry Brant, after the model and socialite died of an accidental overdose at age 24 on January 17.

On Thursday, Peter II posted a dimly-lit photo of Harry laying on the floor next to socialite Gaïa Jacquet-Matisse (the great-great-grandaughter of French artist Henri Matisse) in a burgundy velvet ensemble.

“Today we lay to rest, and honor the life of my brother, a true angel of light, an extraordinarily unique soul unlike any who have come before,” Peter II, 27, wrote in the emotional Instagram caption. He went on to share that the photo was taken on his brother’s “last day” and “shows the eternal beauty he will forever hold.”

“It is impossible to express the devastation I feel for the loss of one with whom I shared not only a lifetime of beautiful memories, but with one who cared so deeply for my own happiness, was so devoted to my personal comfort, It is the loss not only of a brother, but of a best friend, my other half,” Peter, who often attended events and parties with Harry, continued. “My heart shatters to think we will never see that dear sweet face again. @harry_brant”
