Isabella Blow: a stylist that changed the world not only due to her high-class style, but through her discovery of one of the most important persons in fashion world, Alexander McQueen. Blow was so confident that he was a talent, that she encouraged his vision and she promoted him. The world would soon be mesmerized by this man who would eventually change the fashion scene, bringing a new air to it. He was not afraid to take risks, and neither was Blow. Another talent she discovered was the milliner Philip Treacy, whith whom she closely worked and helped. He started making hats that were so intriguing and this became his signature.
Somerset House celebrates this woman through an exhibition called “Isabella Blow: Fashion Galore!”, by displaying more than 100 pieces of her famous wardrobe. Every time Isabella Blow appeared in public it was a statement, all the pieces she was wearing were stunning. She was born in an aristocratic British family, and she started to work as Anna Wintour’s assistant for US Vogue, then for the British Vogue, Tatler and Sunday Times Style. Her sense of style made people more courageous, due to the way in which she provoked the audience.

After she died, Daphne Guinness bought her collection and she directly helped the exhibition together with Isabella Blow Foundation and Central Saint Martins.
“This exhibition is, to me, a bittersweet event. Isabella Blow made our world more vivid, trailing colour with every pace she took. It is a sorrier place for her absence. When I visited her beloved clothes in a storage room in South Kensington, it seemed quite clear the collection would be of immense value to a great many people. I do believe that in choosing to exhibit them we’ve done the right thing – and that it is what she would have wanted. I am doing this in memory of a dear friend, in the hope that her legacy may continue to aid and inspire generations of designers to come”.
Isabella Blow and Philip Treacy, 2003
