Fashion designer Jessica McClintock has died at age 90, according to an obituary published Sunday by the San Francisco Chronicle.
McClintock "died peacefully in her sleep at home" on February 16, the obituary says. McClintock was best known for her dresses, particularly bridal and prom designs "based on the ideal of romance and beauty," wrote the Chronicle's Steve Rubenstein. "Her name became synonymous with milestone events in a woman's life...christening, prom, graduation, engagement and wedding," he writes.

They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.
