In 2007 the news of Isabella Blow's suicide made headlines around the world but there is more to her story than this tragic end. A supporter of milliner Philip Treacy and the woman who discovered designer Alexander McQueen, Blow was a spark, an electrical impulse that set imaginations racing and a unique individual who pushed others to create their best work. This is the only independent biography of one of fashion's most irresistable characters, ranging from her childhood as a young aristocrat to the catwalks of Paris. It will reveal the crises in her personal and professional life that led her to take her own life in May 2007.
