Previously we wrote about Isabella Blow’s lasting influence on fashion.
It’s really no coincidence that afterwards I found out that Alexander
McQueens’s SS ’08 show was in memory to this fantastic icon. A fantastic
designer and sentimentalist, his collection is amazing. He really pushed
himself this season to really honor his friend,the late, great Isabella.

Nostalgia: Isabella Blow

Seems like countless magazines are telling me that fashion hats are back. This news, along with Halloween coming up, made me remember that it’s been about 6 months since Isabella Blow, who rocked the coolest and most avant-garde hats, passed away. Along with being an international style icon, director, and muse, she discovered model Sophie Dahl and designer Alexander McQueen.Though she is no longer with us , her mark on fashion continues.
