The founder of a popular Brisbane-based fashion brand has died while on holiday. Black Milk founder James Lillis was seriously injured in an accident, the fashion brand announced on social media. He died on Thursday, February 22. The circumstances surrounding his death, and where he was holidaying, remain unclear. “He managed to hold on until his wife Linda, their two daughters, and his best friend arrived to be by his side,” the company said.

“JL stood with me for ages chatting about body shapes and sizes and what his goal was for future designs. I was very nervous about being in bare minimum clothing, but not once did he make me feel uncomfortable,” she said on Instagram. Others described him as an “amazing human”. “James was such an electric ball of energy and unlike anyone I’ve ever met. He created this wonderful community that introduced me to some of the best people I’ve ever met, and for that, I’m so grateful,” one person said.
