Isabella Blow: Fashion Galore

Isabella Blow: Fashion Galore is currently on show at Somerset house. The major fashion exhibition celebrates the wardrobe and extraordinary life of the late British patron of fashion and art.

The exhibition showcases over a hundred pieces from her incredibly rich collection, one of the most important private collections of late 20th Century/early 21st Century British fashion design, now owned by Daphne Guinness. This includes garments from the many designer talents she discovered and launched, such as Alexander McQueen, Philip Treacy, Hussein Chalayan and Julien Macdonald amongst others.

Curated by Alistair O’Neill with Shonagh Marshall and designed by award-winning architectural firm Carmody Groarke, with installations by celebrated set designer Shona Heath, the exhibition displays thematically the breadth of Isabella’s collection, a life lived through clothes.

The exhibition runs until March 2014.
