'(6 Sep 2014) NEW YORK FASHION WEEK DESIGNERS REMEMBER JOAN RIVERS The fashion world is still reeling from the death of comedian Joan Rivers as New York Fashion Week rolls on through day two. Before her show at the Lincoln Center tents designer Monique Lhuillier recalled Rivers approach to life and humor. \"I unfortunately did not know her personally, but I was a big fan of the way she approached life. You know she always brought light to everything that she touched and fashion particularly because she made fun of it and you know she didn\'t make people take it too seriously. And the biggest gift that she left to me is every time I watched her she\'d make me laugh and that gift you know is something so special. And she will be missed. And she had great personal style as well so I will remember her forever.\" Luckily for Lhuillier she received good reviews from Rivers and her \"Fashion Police.\" Recently Rivers had praised Taylor Swift for wearing a red and pink Lhuillier gown to the New York premiere of \"The Giver.\" \"Oh many times, yes. We were on fashion police many times and she was always so kind. And last week in particular they voted Taylor Swift best dressed in my design. So there was a lot of love between the two of us out there,\" she said. Before her L.A.M.B. presentation Gwen Stefani took a moment to thank Rivers \"for all of the laughs.\" \"You know what, I was probably like everybody else. She was just, she was there. She was a part of everyone\'s lives and it\'s seems so sad and weird that she\'s not here. It\'s going to take a minute to like realize it and my heart goes out to her family. I mean, I don\'t know how they are dealing with it and we love you guys. Thank you for all of the laughs.\" Rivers, who was 81, died Thursday (4 SEPT. 2014) at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. She had been hospitalized since Aug. 28 when she went into cardiac arrest during a routine procedure at a doctor\'s office. The New York state health department is investigating the circumstances. Spokeswoman Julie Bolcer said Friday that the \"cause and manner of death\" will require further studies. Rivers\' funeral is set for Sunday at Temple Emanu-El; services will be private and no other details were released.
