Waraire Boswell, 1975 – 2024

Fashion designer Waraire Boswell, 48, died on July 31. He was 48. No cause of death has been announced, but his family hinted at a “private battle,” which could mean just about anything. Boswell started his career as a talent agent, but began designing his own clothes to fit his very-tall frame. He formed his own label in 2003, creating custom-made suits for athletes and other celebrities; he branched out in 2014 with a ready-to-wear line, also designing new uniforms for McDonald’s employees. Boswell once said, “Creating the perfect suit is ironically similar to life. Ironic because nothing in life is perfect, but similar because you can control how it fits you.”
