Blow

Isabella (1958). English talent-scout and muse. She has always had her eye on someone very special, be it a designer or a photographer, such as Hussein Chalayan, Philip Treacy, Tristan Webber, and, of course, Alexander McQueen. As with Diana Vreeland and Anna Piaggio, Isabella’s look is very original, with a predilection for hats, often eccentric ones. Colin McDowell, who worked at her side in the style section of the London Sunday Times, defined her as “the last woman in the world whom I can imagine wearing jeans and sneakers.”
