Model, Socialite. He was the younger son of Peter M. Brant, an industrialist, publisher and art collector, and Stephanie Seymour, one of the original supermodels. He was a familiar presence at fashion shows and international parties at a young age, attending the Met Gala at age 16. Vanity Fair called him a “Little Lord Fauntleroy” for his way of enjoying his own good fortune and looks, and New York Magazine once referred to him and his older brother, Peter Brant II, as “NYC’s Most Beautiful Teenage Brothers.” He was known for pushing the boundaries of gender stereotype in both cosmetics and clothing. He dabbled in journalism as a teenage columnist for his father’s Interview magazine, modeled for Balmain and Italian Vogue among others and, with his brother, founded a unisex makeup line with MAC, releasing collections in 2015 and 2016. Although he attended Bard College, he did not graduate. According to his parents, he had been planning to enter a new drug rehabilitation center in 2021, and had hoped to return to play a larger role in the creative side of Interview magazine. He died from an overdose of prescription drugs.
