An afternoon with Isabella

Bitter sweet afternoon surrounded by beautiful memories of Isabella Blow at Somerset exhibition.
An afternoon in the company of Alexander Mcqueen, Philip Treacy, Mr.Pearl, Erik Halley, Louis Vuitton, John Galliano and more.

Sometimes as a designer you doubt your own technical skill set, but after being in the company of McQueen's graduating collection, even the greats have the odd wonky seam and it just makes you love them even more.

There is this great scene in which Isabella is wearing a Philip Treacy A/W 1996 extravagant fascinator whilst being interviewed about McQueen, she's interputed by a hot pretty little thing, a moment later she grins looks down the lens and says, "Anyone can find a husband in a Philip Treacy hat!"
