Blow me February 5, 2004
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
This is a truly indulgent book, equally as sumptuous as Manolo Blahnik's book of shoe designs. pIt is a collection of photographs and beautiful illustrations by Hilary Knight, chronicling Philip Treacy and Isabella Blow's collaboration on over thirty hats, including her wedding hat!pIt perfectly conveys the talent of Treacy, his ingenuity, his inspiration for several of his hats from everyday objects. There is an interview with both Philip Treacy and Isabella Blow-his muse. It tells you a little about both their backgrounds, Treacy's past at the Royal College of Art and how he started his business in Blow's basement. Isabella Blow is a creative director who has worked for magazines such as American and Italian Vogue and The Face. Treacy describes very clearly how Blow has been a constant source of inspiration.pThere are some wonderful photos of his surreal, sculptural creations-by Mario Testino, David La Chappelle etc-including the infamous pasta bowl hat which is a personal favourite. Many of the hats are worn by models recognisable to anyone, such as Stella Tennant and Sophie Dahl.pThis is a perfect book for any millinery obsessed woman, or teenager as well as being very informative for fashion students.
