Stroke Thursday, dead today.

According to sources Bijan was transported to Cedars-Sinai Medial Center Thursday evening. On a Facebook post Friday night, Bijan's son Nicolas said his father had "a stroke."

The 67-year old remains hospitalized, and according to Nicolas ... Bijan is "in critical condition."

Bijan -- a legend in the fashion and perfume biz -- famously suits up movie stars and world leaders. His Rodeo Drive boutique is known as the most expensive store in the world.

The guy was a brilliant marketer. I remember going by the shop on 5th Ave with it's "By Appointment Only" sign. The only person I ever knew who bought clothing from him went from having mansions in BH and several RR's to living in a 2 bedroom rental apt in the valley. He attracted a lot of guys who were into flash, but he sure knew what he was doing and how to work it.

67 is too young. My thoughts are with his family. In memorium:

That's really fine. Isn't he the only clothes seller who always in the store taking care of his customers?

RIP, Bijan......

I was only ever peripherally aware of him as a person, but his name and brand were always symbols of glamour in my mind. And I've never visited Los Angeles

RIP
