From the Worst Dressed list in 1996 to front row at a Versace show in 1997. Fuck yeah, that’s Courtney Love.

But her interest in fashion went way back, long before the red carpets.

In the 80s, her then-boyfriend’s mother, Bernadene, worked in Paramount’s costume department. She had costumed Faye Dunaway in Mommie Dearest (1981), and teenage Courtney would visit the set, developing a habit of rescuing antique pieces Bernadene had been asked to dispose of.

“She spent a lot of time with me there. She was fascinated by the clothes and so excited when she found something genuine,” Bernadene recalled in ‘02.

Courtney explained that her job involved throwing out clothes with dry rot:

“Of course, I didn’t throw them out. I wore them every night. I was the best-dressed girl in Hollywood. I was wearing Lauren Bacall’s shoes, Grace Kelly’s dresses, and Frances Farmer’s hats.”

Despite becoming a subculture fashion icon in the mid-90s for her kinderwh*re style, by January ‘96 Courtney had landed on fashion critic Mr. Blackwell’s Worst Dressed list (v questionable).

At the NYC Film Critics awards on January 5, ‘97, she won Best Supporting Actress and confessed in her speech that she “had never won anything but Worst Dressed. So this is nice.”

Then things took a turn. Courtney got the “Vogue makeover” and the fashion industry SAT UP.

Suddenly some of the biggest names in fashion were courting her, desperate to dress her: Versace, Valentino, Prada, Dior, Fendi and Givenchy, to name a few. Most succeeded, as these slides show.

After choosing Versace for the Oscars in March (that white dress had debuted on the Paris runway just 8 weeks earlier), she was invited to sit front row at Versace’s New York show the following month.

“My very first fashion show!” she shouted to the peasants behind her.

She told reporters:

“I’ve been so sucked into fashion. It’s strange. My mother ran the first store in Oregon that sold Birkenstocks. So you can understand my beauty problem. I grew up surrounded by sandals.”

I’ve been without a phone for two weeks, so I’m only now able to share my thoughts about Jesse Adams. ❤️

I’ve been going through eight years of Facebook and Instagram DMs between Jesse and me, and I’ve realized that most of our conversations were basically two grown men spooning through direct messages. 🤣🤣

The amount of love, encouragement, admiration, and emotional support we sent each other was ridiculous. And I wouldn’t change a word.
That’s who Jesse was.

What an honor and joy it was to know and love this man for eight years.

Jesse could change your entire emotional state simply by being present. His happy-go-lucky energy was infectious. His smile made you feel seen, special, and worthy of being here.

Random texts. Unexpected DMs. Little reminders that you mattered. He gave love away so freely.

Jesse was a hero to animals, but equally devoted to people. He found his purpose and jumped in with everything he had, committing himself to something greater than himself and serving those who couldn’t speak for themselves.
In 2022, Jesse joined our Mission Possible coalition to rescue animals left behind in Afghanistan. I grew to love this dude during that experience, and I’ve loved him ever since.

Which makes his tragic death in Ukraine so devastating.

His loss reflects the terrible darkness in our world. The cruelty, violence, and destruction that stand in absolute opposition to everything Jesse represented.

Jesse was the opposite of that darkness.

Where there was cruelty, he brought compassion. Where there was fear, he brought comfort. Where others saw hopelessness, he saw an opportunity to serve.

A man who devoted his life to bringing light into the darkest places was taken by the very darkness he was working to overcome.

It’s heartbreaking. Infuriating. Terribly unfair.

Yesterday would have been his 42nd birthday.

But a life isn’t measured simply in years. It’s measured in love given, lives touched, and service to others.

By that measure, Jesse lived an extraordinary life.

I love you, brother. Your light lives on. ❤️🐾

A Pisces loves like a fairy tale and leaves like fog: slowly, softly, and then completely gone. 😂♓ The devotion is the stuff of dreams: the empathy, the tenderness, the forgiveness that goes far past reason. People mistake that softness for endless patience. It isn’t. When the hurt finally outweighs the hope, the fish doesn’t fight. They drift. The replies get dreamier and farther apart, the warmth fades into kindness, and one day you realize the person who used to feel everything with you now feels nothing about you at all. Because this sign’s goodbye is never dramatic; it’s just a tide going out. The love: oceanic. The exit: gentle. The shore: empty. 🌊♓
