“We wish to thank all the staff of St Joseph’s Hospice, Hackney for the beautiful support they provided for Pamela in her final days.

In response Gizzi Erskine wrote: “My friend. My neighbour. My protector since I was a teenager. I love you Pammy. The world fell out of my body. I love you I love you I love you.”
Shirley Manson of the band Garbage wrote: "That's you away then hen. Our dear, most distinguished doctor. Our revered Scottish fashion queen.
“Thank you for it all. ✨
“The brilliance and the bravery and the extraordinary, explosive sense of humour that perpetually burled you forth with tremendous force. The Iconoclastic and fantastic Dr Hogg may have left the runway but you will be found in the long and storied history of British fashion and in the imaginative , pioneering work of each and every fashion designer who trails in your wake.
“The world has lost a bone fide original. A one of one. A jewel of a human being.
You will be missed.
“Love love love to your family and to all those that loved you deeply. Your community is in mourning.
“I can practically hear you cackling from the heavens, enjoying the dark theatre and spectacle of it all. Love you Pam.”
“I’ll be over in a bit.
“Get the kettle on.
🖤.”
Fashion designer Zandra Rhodes told WWD that “Pam Hogg was an eccentric, dominant London character. In the early 1980s, alongside the likes of Bodymap, Pam reinvented Lycra catsuits and disco fashion. In more recent times, she lit up London with her fantastic fashion shows at Freemasons Hall.”
“A prominent figure across the arts, fashion and British music scenes, the fashion world won’t quite be as vivid or rebellious now that Pam is no longer with us. She will be greatly missed.”
According to the biography on her website, “Pam Hogg’s designs are the antithesis of high fashion, provocative and original, brimming with humour and audacity. She wears her heart on her sleeve and her principles on her writs, tattoos self drawn in black capitals, declaring ‘honour’ on the left, ‘justice’ on the right.”
