Fashion designer to the stars Peter Hidalgo has died at the age of 53. Hidalgo was said to have passed away at a homeless shelter on January 17 in New York City.
His publicist Marion Greenberg confirmed the sad news. A cause of death has not yet been revealed. According to WWD reports, Peter's former employer Miguel Adrover revealed that he had been living in a homeless shelter as he awaited qualifying for subsidized housing. "I know he was not feeling well.
It was really hard to get in touch with him," Miguel told the publication. He added: "I would tell him all the time, 'Peter, love, you should move back to Santo Domingo, because you have your family.' "Also, you know how New York is.
If you don't have money, it is really a hard city to survive. He was not young either. I was devastated." Hidalgo was a co-winner of the Fashion Group International's "Rising Star" award for womenswear in 2010.
