he founder of Elite, the world’s most successful modelling agency, died from cancer on Saturday.
He was a titan of his trade, who transformed the modelling game into a billion-dollar business, and bestrode fashion for more than four decades, bringing global fame and fortune to the fast-living catwalk models he discovered.
He launched the careers of Claudia Schiffer, Heidi Klum, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell to name but a few. Yet Casablancas’s death at the age of 70 has so far been greeted by a chorus of silence from this gilded circle.
