Based on this statement, we hope to eventually see Blow\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s collection displayed for the public in a museum \u00e2\u20ac\u201c perhaps at the V&A Museum in London where Grace Kelly\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wardrobe was recently shown. Christie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s did not do anything wrong by intending to auction Blow\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s clothing, but we are pleased to know there may be the opportunity to view the collection in its entirety at some point, thus offering a glimpse into Blow\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s life as well as the beauty of the pieces she accumulated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Daphne Guinness shocked fashion last month by stopping the sale of the collection from the late, iconic fashion editor Isabella Blow\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wardrobe that was to be sold by the auction house Christie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. Guinness bought every piece herself to prevent the auction from even beginning. The newly announced muse for and face of Nars Cosmetics\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 fall campaign finally released a statement explaining her actions, how she came about her decision to stop Christie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and what she plans to do with her recently acquired fashion fortune.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[140,3790,1061,2998,2996,3793,3765,3788,6846,58,3791,3266,3789,6863,1034,3763,3267,3792,529],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13732"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13732"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13732\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13742,"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13732\/revisions\/13742"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13732"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13732"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/198.46.88.49\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13732"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
