With Genevieve Suzy this morning, I toured the Isabella Blow Exhib at Somerset House: her old frocks and hats and bags and gloves. We were there for Dainty Lady TV.
Isabella Blow is a figure I’m surprised I haven’t more frequently embraced. But I have a suspicion she wasn’t much fun. She was more on the lethal side. Nothing wrong with that. I’m not criticising. Simply she wasn’t Poor Little Rich Gay. No pull-back, just the one perspective. She homed in naturally on Alexander McQueen, who also fascinated with his danger and cruelty.
