Ivan Bart Obituary-Death News; Ex-President At IMG Models, Ivan Bart Passes Away From Suicide

Ivan Bart, head of IMG Models, died this past weekend, and the fashion imagery community are grieving his loss. Ivan Bart passed away, according to a close family friend.

The Managing Director and longtime president of IMG Models, the biggest modelling agency globally, was declared deceased following what appeared to be a suicide. He was in his sixties.

IMG Models’ president at the time was Ivan Bart. He has played a significant role in the fashion modelling business. Ivan departed his position as president last year to take a Senior Adviser position at the organisation. On Bart’s official Instagram page, the news of his passing was shared.

Bart spent more than thirty years employed with IMG Models. No one was chosen to succeed him as President when he resigned. Susan Plagemann was chosen to supervise the founding of WME Fashion. She was formerly the chief business officer of Condé Nast. Jeni Rose and Kate Stirling were in charge of IMG Models.

Bart declared that in his new role as Senior Special Adviser, he will keep looking for new models. In 1994, Mr. Bart moved from Ford Models to become an agent for IMG. Mr. Bart worked with two of the most sought-after models of the era, Stephanie Seymour and Carolyn Murphy, in his early years at the agency.

Words fall short of expressing our grief for your loss, as we mourn with family and friends for this great loss. We are truly sorry to hear of the loss of this promising being. Please accept our condolences, and may our prayers help comfort you. Please accept our heartfelt condolences.
