Isabella Blow: The Play

A play based on the life of the late Isabella Blow  has just opened in America. Entitled Blow Me, the production is the work of the Mad Cat Theatre Company in Miami.

Written by Jessica Farr and directed by the company's founder, Paul Tei, the play stars Erin Joy Schmidt as Blow and focuses on the final moments of the stylist's life and her tragic suicide in 2007.

"In Blow Me, we follow Isabella down the rabbit hole as her life comes to an end, which is only just the beginning of the ride," explains the play's synopsis. "Isabella tells her own story as only she could remember it, through spectacle."

Isabella Blow
Blow is known for having discovered some of fashion's leading names, including Alexander McQueen, Sophie Dahl and Stella Tennant. A fashion editor, consultant and muse, she was renowned for her bold, daring and extrovert style. A selection of pieces from her wardrobe will go on display at Somerset House in November.

Blow Me is showing at the Miami Theater Center until September 1.
