The auction of a lifetime is imminent to Christie’s London this September.

Isabella Blow’s clothing collection of over 90, yes 90, Alexander McQueen pieces, 60 Philip Treacy hats, and a variety of Manolo Blahnik shoes is going up for sale.

We can’t even envision spectacle of watching Isabella’s legendary wardrobe auctioned off or the high prices it’s sure to command.

We’d bet that Daphne Guinness will be one of the foremost buyers at this auction, as her love of McQueen and unconventional style make her the ideal inheritor of Isabella’s clothes.

Yet while the auction is a great way to remember the talent and innovation of Isabella and Lee McQueen, we’d much rather have them still creating than be selling off their treasures postmortem.
