R.I.P Isabella Blow

This morning I received "breaking news" from Women's Wear Daily that Isabella Blow, stylist and former fashion director of the Tatler and London Sunday Times, died. The circumstances are "still being determined," which doesn't sound great, but I thought The Fashion Blog readers would appreciate the update.

Born in 1958, Isabella Blow was known for her support of young designers and discovered such fashion names as Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan, Stella Tennant and Sophie Dahl. She is also credited for discovering milliner Philip Treacy, who became known for making her the eccentric hats that she wore on all occasions.
