Isabella Blow was a true eccentric.

I had the opportunity to work with her during my stay in London. I always found her filled with vitality, energy and passion. Visually she was the Lady GAGA of the fashion world, a true and pure spirit. She is deeply missed.

I just wanted to share an article I came across in WWD in which Jean Grillo penned a 60 minute play “Blow by Blow: A Reinvented Real Life Play” based on Blow’s life.

It premiered July 21st  as part of New York’s International Midtown Theater Festival.

Grillo said  ” Isabella never got the credit she deserved.” The play is a collection of scenes that focus on the many disappointments leading up to her suicide.

Other book tributes are set to be released starting in November from Martina Rink, Blow’s longtime assistant, Lauren Goldstien Crowe, a journalist, Detmar Blow, her widower, and Tom Sykes, brother of editor and author Plum Sykes.

Full article can be read on WWD Eye Scoop.

[FH OtherThanBeauty] SEERSUCKER

I was reading WWD and I came across and article of the opening of SEERSUCKER. The southern comfort restaurant is located in Carroll Gardens — Brooklyn, NY.  Kerry Diamond ( a Lancôme executive ) is co-owner and says “the whole idea behind the restaurant is cleaned-up Southern food. It is fresh and light and still has soul.” –WWD

I am looking forward to eating at SEERSUCKER and invite you to check it out as well!
