David Furnish and Lorraine Kelly are among those remembering fashion journalist Hilary Alexander, who has died at the age of 77. The Daily Telegraph’s former fashion editor was described as “one of the brightest and kindest people in the business” and “always on top of her game”.
Alexander died on Sunday on her 77th birthday, as reported by the Telegraph. Born in New Zealand, Alexander moved to the UK in 1982, writing for the Telegraph’s woman’s page.
She would stay at the publication for 26 years, becoming fashion editor in 1985 and fashion director in 2003. Alexander was twice named journalist of the year at the British Fashion Awards, in 1997 and 2003 respectively.
