The incomparable Isabella Blow

"Visionary, conspiratorial, bawdy, inspirational: You couldn't have invented Issy." - Hamish Bowles

This book really touched me when it arrived for my review.

Isabella Blow by Martina Rink is a glorious and grand testament to the dynamism and personality that was Issy. A breathtaking collectors book that dedicates itself to celebrating and honouring the life of the eccentric, bohemian

Thank you for being a friend

Casting Director James Scully recently moved, and generously donated his magazine collection to me.

I am completely overwhelmed.

The collection includes Italian Vogue (the Fabien Baron years), British Vogue (the Liz Tilberis years), French Glamour, Lei Magazine, Per Lui, Jill Magazine, and more.

The jewel of the collection is the July/August 1988 issue of Italian Vogue. Robin MacKintosh is on the cover. Robin MacKintosh was the first Women model to be on the cover of Italian Vogue. This was also the first Italian Vogue cover photographed by Steven Meisel & art directed by Fabien Baron.
