About Isabella Blow
Isabella Blow (née Delves Broughton; 19 November 1958 – 7 May 2007) was an English magazine editor. She was mentor to Philip Treacy, and is credited with discovering the models Stella Tennant and Sophie Dahl, and fashion designer Alexander McQueen, beginning when she bought the entirety of his graduate show inspired by Jack the Ripper. Blow had two sisters, Julia and Lavinia; her brother, John, drowned in the family's swimming pool at the age of two. Isabella did not get along with her father, who bequeathed her only £5,000 from his estate, which was worth more than one million pounds.
