Fashion icon and artist Gloria Vanderbilt dies at 95

Gloria Vanderbilt died Monday morning, according to her son, CNN's Anderson Cooper. The fashion designer and socialite was 95. Vanderbilt died at home with friends and family at her side. 'Gloria Vanderbilt was an extraordinary woman, who loved life, and lived it on her own terms,' Cooper said in a statement. 'She was a painter, a writer and designer but also a remarkable mother, wife, and friend. She was 95 years old, but ask anyone close to her, and they'd tell you: She was the youngest person they knew -- the coolest and most modern.' Cooper said. 'Her private self, her real self -- that was more fascinating and more lovely than anything she showed the public.
