Click to play videoNew Delhi: British fashion editor and stylist Isabella Blow has died of cancer at the age of 48.
Blow, renowned for her outrageous dressing sense was credited to have discovered models like Sophie Dahl, Stella Tenant and designers Alexander McQueen and John Galliano.
Blow was in India last year for the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion week in Delhi. A contributing editor to the British Fashion Magazine Tatler, Blow was reportedly suffering from depression and had been hospitalised earlier after suffering a fall, which some sections of the media termed as attempted suicide.
Renowned for her larger-than-life hats and blood-red lipstick, Blow was born in London in 1958.
She moved to New York in 1979 to study ancient Chinese art at Columbia University but soon dropped out and moved to west Texas to work for Guy Laroche.
In 1981, she met Anna Wintour, then fashion director of US Vogue, and was hired as her assistant.
Blow later returned to London, where she worked for Tatler, the Sunday Times and British Vogue.
She met Detmar, an art dealer, at a wedding in 1987. They became engaged just 16 days later and married the following year.
