RIP Issy

Isabella Blow died today, she was a maverick in fashion. She never had any money of her own, she was not a designer, but she had the rare talent of seeing talent in others and she championed those she truly believed in, like the amazing haberdasher Phillip Treacy and the now uber famous Alexander McQueen (of whom she bought the entire graduation collection over a decade ago). She was a rare visionary, and she lived her vision. We should all be so lucky to have the courage to follow our ideas and to live with gusto.
