Rest In Peace, Yoko Devereaux

Remember Yoko Devereaux? The Brooklyn-based fashion house and menswear brand directed by Andy Salzer was founded in 2000 and was seen on the likes of Pharell Williams, Josh Hartnett, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Alan Cumming, the Scissor Sisters, and all male employees at both the Tribeca Grand and Soho Grand hotels–but alas, the brand is dead. So dead, in fact, that the team is throwing a funeral at the Box next Tuesday, an event Chic Report found on Facebook titled “bitch be dead: RIP Yoko D.” The event will have a eulogy presented by Ana Matronic of the Scissor Sisters and a visual installation by English Kills featuring a 10 year retrospective of the brand. “Please join us as we celebrate the life, and lament the untimely death, of Yoko Devereaux,” the page reads. “For, though she has passed now from this Earth, she will live on forever in our hearts. ‘For 10 years, I have lived and breathed Yoko Devereaux,’ says Andy Salzer, Creative Director. “The entire experience from beginning to end has changed my life. With that said, I felt it important to take a moment to celebrate Yoko Devereaux, her life and say goodbye.’” Dress code, naturally, is “Funeral Realness.”
