This has to be one of the first books I've bought for a long time. It's hard to fit in the time of reading but I really can't put this book down. Isabella Blow, she's my idol, my inspiration and a legend. If I could describe her it would be one of the hardest thing to do, she's just unbelievable and there's not enough words in the English dictionary to sum her up.
But I'd give it ago.
Isabella Blow is astonishing. When she still walked on the grounds of this Earth, all in the fashion world hailed to her. She was a goddess, someone who everyone wanted to please and wanted to be. As Isabella Blow was a stylist and a magazine editor of Tatler many people saw her very highly. She was a big role model with her eccentric style and outgoing personality so everyone wanted her to be wearing their clothes.
The book is written by her husband Detmar Blow, where he writes ever so passionately and endearing about her it brought tears to my eyes. Detmar explained every detail he knew about Isabella's life, explaining her difficult childhood and how somethings don't always go smoothly even though her she's from a highly respected, wealthy family.
But reading this book really draws me in, captures my attention 100%. I love discovering what her life was like but it still brings sadness as I would have loved to meet her. In the book it also explains how she couldn't have children and I know for sure she would have been a great mother.
Later this year is a exhibition that's dedicated to her and her strong fond for fashion as the exhibition will be displaying her classic, magnificent pieces of clothing that made her stand out and known for who she was. Even though the exhibition is months away, I'm still screaming inside like a child as I'm incredibly excited for the exhibition.
RIP Isabella Blow x
