Isabella Blow. Known for her flamboyant style. She was a pivotal, irreplaceable force in fashion due to her ability to discover and nurture avant-garde talent.such as Philip Treacy and Alexander McQueen.
We saw her once getting off a train in Victoria station. A hat box dangling from each wrist and a porter carrying her Louis Vuitton luggage. She was just getting of her train and it looked like a fashion shoot and the whole world was suddenly more glamorous.
She was extraordinary. disinherited from her aristocratic family leaving her financially insecure she some how managed to fund her obsession with Fashion including buying Alexander McQueen entire graduate collection.
Fashion designers, editors, writers, photographers are one thing but someone has to buy the stuff and live the life and that someone was Isabella Blow.
She didn't have an easy life but she was amazing
Pip pip.
An absolute icon!! Jx
