Swimwear designer Sylvie Cachay has been found dead at New York's Soho House, allegedly at the hands of her ex-boyfriend Nicholas Brooks. She was just 33 years old.
Cachay was found wearing a sweater and underwear in a bathtub, with water still running. Reports state that marks were found on her neck, which seems to indicate she was strangled.
Brooks has been charged with the attempted murder and strangulation of his ex-partner. Cachay apparently broke up with Brooks just hours before she was found dead, and one of her friends commented that he appeared "unstable."
Cachay will be remembered for her swimwear label Syla. While that line folded in 2008 she continued to pursue her passion for swimwear, most recently designing for Anne Cole.
"She was an artist. She was a painter. Everything was perfect. You know the stories with everything that's perfect, it doesn't seem real yet," Cachay's mother Sylvia told The Post.
Kate Godici, owner of Punch PR which represented Syla, also indicated that Cachay intended to revive the brand she started. What a shame she never got to realize that dream. Hopefully Brooks' conviction will help Cachay's family find some peace.
