RIP Isabella Blow 1958-2007

[misssakura]

She would most likely have been in a LOT of pain.

This is sad.

I remember seeing her on ftv at backstage & front rows of fashion shows and she would always wear something avant-garde & unique which makes her stand out.

I was shocked aswell.
Anyway, RIP & God bless her family.

a huge loss, my best wishes to her loved ones!

very sad

 

[leyla m.]

yes its confirmed...
very very sad as her husbands father killed himself the same way

 

[softgrey]

leyla- that sounds absolutely manic...
too far up and then too far down and def a bit out of control...

cannot say i am surprised the way some others are...
sad, yes- surprised, no...

....I cannot believe this. shocked, suprised, really sad.
Rest In Place.

ah dear. I only found out about this yesterday, I'm so shocked, it's so tragic. R.I.P She did so much for fashion.

 

[brokenenglish]

I can't imagine the pain she was in to do this to herself....
I hope her pain is gone now and she can RIP...
by all accounts she was an amazing lady and it's sad to see her go.

I imagine there will be many hats/headpieces at her funeral in her honor.

r.i.p

How tragic. RIP.

This is all so horrific. Messy people get messy lives yes, but this kind of death makes any human being recoil. There was a great article in today's Independent on Saturday. If I can't find it by tmw online, I may type it up.

 

[ilaughead]

I can't really say I'm so shocked about the cause of death given her past. But what an awful downward spiral for her.

 

[RedGloves]

I've just found out today

...the last time I will see her on Fashion Television
she was always one of my favorite people to watch and listen to

 

[travis_nw8]

Sad- in many ways

 

[leyla m.]

funeral tomorrow

 

[Ms. Diorella]

this is so sad she was such an iconic woman, the way she chose to die was awful, i'll miss her ideas and creativity.

 

[zembla]

weedkiller...eep...what an odd choice. Any of those poisons take time to so it probably wasn't quick...she suffered.

 

[misssakura]

Weedkiller. Maybe she read 'An Inspector Calls'.

GLOUCESTER, UNITED KINGDOM - MAY 15: A hat on a mannequins head adorns the coffin at the funeral service for fashion stylist Isabella Blow, at Gloucester Cathedral on May 15 2007 in Gloucester, England. The 48-year-old - who will be buried in one of her trademark hats - died last week after drinking weed killer. Designer Alexander McQueen, model Sophie Dahl and actor Rupert Everett were amongst the guest paying their respects.

Goodbye Issy
