Fashion designer Antony Price, who styled stars like David Bowie, Jerry Hall and Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon, has died aged 80

Price was a long-time collaborator for Duran Duran and he created the silhouettes pastel suits which featured in the band's music video Rio.

Following the news of his death, Duran Duran keyboard player Nick Rhodes posted a tribute to his late friend on the band's official website and shared on the group's social media channels.

Rhodes, 63, wrote: "I am deeply saddened to hear that my very dear friend Antony Price, passed away yesterday.

"He was a visionary fashion designer, with extraordinary technical skills. Nobody did glam better than Antony...

"Inspired by old school Hollywood, he brought that style into a new era with a sharp sense of modernity and without ever forsaking elegance. His designs were made to shine - whoever wore his clothes inevitably got the most attention in the room.

"For Duran Duran, he was an important collaborator from the very beginning and we continued to work with him throughout the years. Perhaps most significantly, he conceived and designed all of the pastel coloured silk suits we wore in the Rio video.

"His distinctive creations were unique and striking. Whilst he rarely received the recognition he deserved from the fashion media, his notable clientele and many other designers all knew Antony was a genius, a cut above the rest.

"He never failed to deliver. His swan song fashion show, just a few weeks ago was as spectacular and relevant as the first one I ever saw.

"More than all of this, Antony was a loyal, kind, intelligent and razor-witted, friend.

"I'll miss you Tone... Nick."

Price's career spanned more than five decades and his final ever show was hosted in London in collaboration with fashion brand 16Arlington.

At the show, singer Lily, 40, wore a dress inspired by the black velvet "revenge dress" famously donned by the late Princess Diana.

Price was born in Keighley, West Yorkshire, Northern England, in 1945, and moved to the UK capital in the early '60s to study at the Royal College of Art.

Just a year after graduating he landed a job designing menswear Stirling Copper and on of his first fashion forays into the music world was creating the body-hugging, buttoned trousers Sir Mick Jagger wore on The Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter tour in 1969.

In 1979, he founded his own label and a year later hosted his first fashion show with Jerry Hall walking for him. Hall wore a dress designed by Price for her wedding to Jagger in November 1990, in Bali, Indonesia.

Price then began frequently creating clothes for the late David Bowie and was responsible for creating the jacket Bowie wore for his As The World Falls Down music video in 1986.

By the 1990s, Price became a regular go-to designed for Queen Camilla - the wife of King Charles - and created several outfits for her tour of America just after she received the title Duchess of Cornwall.
