Today the fashion world mourns the loss of the awesomely-named Isabella Blow. Isabella, a stylist and fashionista in London, apparently died from cancer.
Isabella got her start as an assistant to two of the most famous names in the fashion business, Vogue contributor Andre Leon Talley and the woman who was an indirect inspiration for this site, Anna Wintour. Let’s face it: anybody who can work for Anna Wintour and come out with a respectable career in the fashion world has got to be hardcore. And she could pull off some eccentric outfits like nobody’s business.
We’ll miss Isabella Blow for her style, but we here at Save the Assistants will miss her as a reminder that a former assistant can always go on to glory. Well played, Isabella.
