" Fashion is a vampiric thing; it's the Hoover on your brain. That's why I wear the hats, to keep everyone away from me. They say, 'Oh, can I kiss you?' I say, 'No, thank you very much.' "

(Isabella Blow, nata Isabella Delves Broughton, editrice di moda; Londra, 19 novembre 1958 – Gloucester, 7 maggio 2007)
