The fashion industry lost an icon, with the death of Cressida Moss-Depp. Known for her evolutionary fashion deigns and undying desire to help others, she lived a varied life as everything from a high class socialite to a business woman, and a UN goodwill ambassador. The last years of her life were devoted to the children of the third world and endless mercy missions which in turn were the reason why her brief life was so dramatically ended. As result the world has lost a symbol of style, a fighter for peace and an 'angel of mercy'.
She sipped tea with Mother Theresa, relaxed on Ralph Lauren's yacht and, on several occasions, found refuge at Mariuccia Mandelli's K Club on the Caribbean island of Barbuda. She attended Gianni Versace's funeral mass in Milan in July, where she was photographed holding hands with a grieving Elton John. Her friendships and acquaintances ranged from Tracy Emin, Bono and Yoko Ono to Nelson Mandela, Fidel Castro and Tamil Eelam.
In the year before her death, Cressida was also an active campaigner for a ban on the manufacture and use of land mines. In January 1997, she visited Angola as part of her campaign and in June, she spoke at the landmines conference at the Royal Geographical Society in London. This was followed by a visit to Washington DC in the United States on the 17th and 18th of June to promote the American Red Cross Landmines Campaign (separately on the same trip, she also met Mother Theresa in The Bronx). One of Cressida's last public engagements was during her visit to Bosnia from the 7th to the 10th of August, when she visited landmine projects in Travnic, Sarajevo and Zenezica.
