This is heart-breaking.

Ottavio Missoni, the patriarch and founder of the Missoni fashion house, passed away in his home in Sumirago, Italy on Thursday at 92 years of age.

He leaves behind his wife Rosita Missoni, as well as his children, Angela Missoni, who is the head designer of the house, Luca Missoni, the creative director, and several grandchildren.

His eldest son Vittorio Missoni, who went missing with his wife and companions during a flight to Venezuela back in January of this year, is still unaccounted for.

Ottavio began the family business in 1953, creating knitwear collections for various boutiques and stores in Italy, before launching the famous zigzag motif in 1962 and finally opening the first Missoni store in 1967.

Business has been booming ever since, with the latest Missoni for Target collaboration flying off shelves and causing the Target website to crash due to enormous demand.

Nonetheless, it's been a really tough year for the family, and they are in our thoughts during this truly difficult time.

A garment factory in Bangladesh collapsed on Wednesday morning, killing almost 90 people, injuring hundreds of others, and many of the 2,000 people who reported to work that day are still trapped beneath the rubble!

The 8-story building, located in a suburb near the capital city of Dhaka, exhibited signs of damage on Tuesday when several cracks were discovered, but employees were still told to report to work on Wednesday.

This particular disaster comes only 5 months after

Brooklyn Decker didn't waste any time helping out her fellow Texans who were involved in the fertilizer plant explosion in the town of West.

On Thursday morning the Sports Illustrated model rushed to her local blood bank to donate and encouraged others to do the same, tweeting:

"Yo. People in Austin.. Donate blood today. Lamar and 43rd st. The Blood and Tissue Center of Central Texas. #WestTX"

Did we mention she did this all makeup-free ans still managed to look gorgeous?

Such a model citizen!

This is getting a little fishy!!!

Remember how that Isreali Eurovision contestant was supposedly banned from wearing a John Galliano dress on the show?

Well, that ban might be hard to enforce because Galliano flat out denies ever agreeing to design a dress!

Last week Moran Mazor told a radio station her stylist, Gili Algabi, reached out to several designers, but John's publicist Liz Rosenberg says there was never any "official correspondence" between her client or the stylist.

Rosenberg said in an email:

It seems like sometimes saying sorry and acting contrite is just not enough.

John Galliano has been working hard to put his anti-Semitic rant behind him, but some aren’t ready to forgive him.

The designer was all set to dress Moran Mazor, a Eurovision contestant from Israel, after her stylist "reached out to several international designers among them John Galliano. Fortunately, he accepted the challenge of designing a dress."

But once the Israel Broadcasting Authority, who sponsors Israel's participation and broadcasts the show, got wind of the deal, they banned her from wearing his designs.

The IBA's Yoav Ginai fired off a memo to Moran's agent, saying:
