100 yo ! that’s a life! She is one of the most important figures in fashion and truly one of a kind.

The joy and energy put in her work are something we miss so much these days.

she is the one who emptied the pocket of CN and gave us one of , if not, the most beautiful editorials ever. RIP 🖤

Oh no, I'm so sad to read this!

Rest In Peace Polly, you were truly one of a kind .

Her work speaks for itself but personally I always thoroughly enjoyed every interview she did, especially the one with Nicolas from Interview's September 2010 (with the swimming pics by Meisel ). And I think she remained wise til the last moment; I remember a quote from her recent W interview where she said you always have to try and look forward and avoid being overly nostalgic, in fashion but no doubt in life as well. Too true!
