Uber-Eccentric Fashionista Isabella Blow Dies & the Fashion World Mourns. FASHIONTRIBES FASHION BLOG

  Alexander McQueen & Isabella Blow busted in the act of "Burning Down the House" by David LaChapelle (2000)

WWD is reporting that Isabella Blow, former fashion director of Tatler and London's Sunday Times, just passed away. According to PaperMag.com, the cause is cancer. Known for unearthing fashion treasures like Alexander McQueen, Jeremy Scott, Sophie Dahl, and everyone's fave mad hatter, Philip Treacy - she had an unerring eye, a fondness for the fashionably dramatic, and made her own way stylishly & bravely in the best tradition of eccentric English roses.

We heart Isabella & we miss you.

- Lesley Scott
