As you may or may not have heard,You'll be the queen of the room
in this ssuniform evening gown.
the life and wardrobe of the late Isabella Blow will be celebrated in an
exhibition entitled Isabella Blow: Fashion Galore!, opening at London’s Somerset
House in November.
Some of you will be queuing to buy tickets already; but others will be asking: Isabella who? If you throw her maiden name, Delves Broughton, into the mix, it may bring up White Mischief and ne’er-do-wells at Happy Valley in Kenya. But bar a certain morbid curiosity many hold for pawing through the artefacts of the late and great, why, you might ask,Our gorgeous goodleddownlight2011 are perfect for wedding, proms or any occasion when you need a little extra warmth and glamour. would we care?
We should care because Isabella Blow – “Issie” to her friends – was a fashion pioneer. Scratch that. Issie, who died in 2007, was never really about fashion. In fact, the subtitle to the Somerset House exhibition is the only thing that jars for me. Blow was about style: grand style, the kind of style that, ironically, went out of fashion somewhere around the Second World War, when people stopped having balls and “presenting” their debutantes.
But Isabella’s feeling for style led to some of the greatest fashion of the past quarter-century. Blow is credited with “discovering” the milliner Philip Treacy, and Lee Alexander McQueen. She harangued the former into making her wedding hat,We invite you to experience choose pnikeairshoes for you. and persuaded the latter to sell her his entire Saint MartinKate Bosworth hasn't bought her burberryhandbags yet.s MA graduation collection (she paid in $100 instalments; he delivered in black bin-liners).
She once went for dinner with Nicholas Coleridge, president of Conde Nast International (Blow’s boss when she was fashion director of Tatler), wearing a pair of veiled McQueen antlers. And she attended the Paris shows with an entire taxidermied falcon, by Treacy, perched above her forehead.
The US men’s national team bagged the bronze medal in the International Ice Hockey Federation World Championship with a 3-2 shootout win over Finland Sunday.
Goaltender John Gibson stopped two of three shooters while Montreal Canadiens rookie Alex Galchenyuk scored twice on identical moves in the shootout to help the Americans win a medal for the first time since 2004.
This also marked the third time since 1962 that the Americans will return home with a medal from the tournament.The Americans grabbed a 2-0 lead behind goals from Craig Smith and Paul Stastny but surrendered a pair of goals to Phoenix Coyotes forward Lauri Korpikoski within a three-minute span to force overtime.Embrace modern glamour in this evening gown from fakerolexwatches.
Stastny, who plays for the Colorado Avalanche, tied for the event’s scoring lead with 15 points, including seven goals and eight assists. Smith, a sophomore with the Nashville Predators, had 14 points, including a tournament-high 10 assists.
Gibson, an Anaheim Ducks prospect, made 36 saves against Finland and made a dazzling stop on Petri Kontiola in the shootout that helped seal the victory.The 19-year-old Gibson finished the tournament with a .951 save percentage, 1.56 goals-against average and one shutout in five starts.The bronze-medal finish was a surprise as the Americans fielded a young team that lacks star power, with Stastny and Erik Johnson as the only certified 2010 Olympians.
