The incomparable Isabella Blow always pushed boundaries in the fashion world, often using her personality as her most offensive weapon. Famous for discovering talents such as Philip Treacy, Alexander McQueen, Sophie Dahl and Hussein Chalayan, she also nurtured and inspired many artists and designers across the industry. A unique stylist, she worked for Vogue and Tatler in the US and the UK, collaborating with major photographers on breathtaking and often infamous shoots. Personal letters written exclusively for this book have been contributed by legendary names in the fashion world, from Valentino and Anna Wintour to Manolo Blahn?k and Naomi Campbell, and from artists such as Tracey Emin and Noble & Webster, whom she inspired. Iconic portraits have been contributed by some of the greatest photographers in fashion, including Mario Testino, Rankin, Donald McPherson and Richard Burbridge. All combine to paint a vivid image of Isabella that celebrates the ecstasy and tragedy of her astonishing life.
