My Take
Isabella Blow is one of fashion's most important figures who rarely gets the central credit she deserves. She bought Alexander McQueen's entire graduate collection, championed milliner Philip Treacy, and discovered models like Stella Tennant and Sophie Dahl. Her genius was not self-promotion but vision, an almost violent instinct for talent before the world saw it. Those famously extravagant hats read, to me, as the outward sign of an intensity she poured into other people's careers. Her death in 2007 at 48 was a real loss. I genuinely believe the modern fashion landscape would look different, and poorer, without her eye.
