An English magazine editor and international style icon, Isabella Blow fostered such talents as Alexander McQueen and milliner Philip Treacy. Best known for her extravagant fashion, she was the darling of the beau monde who tragically committed suicide in May 2007 after a battle with depression and ovarian cancer. Now, a new play about the life of the icon will premiere at the 11th Annual Midtown International Theatre Festival next month. Titled
Blow by Blow, the play is unrelated to the Blow film, which is being produced by
John Galliano. But much like the movie, the stage presentation will depict her life and death.
