As London Fashion Week sashays into another crisp September, it does so for the first time in twenty years, without the glorious, the notorious Isabella Blow. Starting out as an assistant to Anna Wintour in 1981, Blow, always attired in some eccentrically beautiful hat, was an integral presence in the fashion world – she bought up McQueen’s first collection, discovered Sophie Dahl and was muse to Philip Treacy. Blow died in May and a tribute was held this week. In her life, Lee Lapthorne, creative director of On/Off explains, she was ‘a living icon and ambassador for new talent’: inquisitive, inspired and one of a kind.
