Fashion icon Isabella Blow's legendary designer wardrobe will be up for auction at Christie’s later this year...
Isabella famously had an eye for seeking out young talent and is credited for launching the careers of many now-leading designers, the designs of whom feature heavily in the collection for the Christie’s sale.
Including Manolo Blahnik shoes and hats by milliner Philip Treacy!
However, the most desired lots will surely be the 90 pieces by the late Alexander McQueen, who was Blow’s protégée and friend.
"What we have is unique," explains Patricia Frost, director of fashion and textiles at Christie's in London. "It shows that McQueen really deserves his place in fashion history and that Isabella was there before anyone else; she saw what was good so far ahead of the game."
The sale, from the Blow estate on behalf of her family, will be held by Christie's in London, South Kensington, on 15 September.
