The couple’s closets were filled with immaculate clothes.

(Bonnie Wertheim, “Marella Agnelli, Society’s ‘Last Swan’ and a Passionate Gardener, Is Dead at 91,” NYTimes, 2-23-19)

All respect to the Agnelli family and condolences for their loss. The clothing reference struck me as a distinctive detail to include in an obituary, and thus needing quotation on this blog. The “couple” were Gianni Agnelli “of the Fiat car manufacturing empire,” who died in 2003, and Princess Marella Caracciolo di Castagneto.
