In the latest installment of Vogue’s ObjectsOfAffection, we're revisiting Isabella Blow’s Cotswolds home—and the eccentric objects within it.
. “She liked people to make an effort.” Hilles House, their home in the Cotswolds, embodies thatmaximalist ethos: The walls are covered in centuries-old paintings, images from fashion shoots by Steven Meisel, and even a Botticelli-inspired William Morris tapestry that houseguest Alexander McQueen once claimed that he grabbed off the hooks, stuffed into his suitcase, and smuggled back to London.
Perhaps the most poignant item? A portrait of Charles I, who, despite his poor leadership skills, was a great collector and supporter of the arts. Blow notes his late wife’s fondness for the painting, as well as the intellectual thread connecting the two. “Their love of beauty and creativity was a troubled one. It often came at paying a price,” he says.
Here, watch Blow and Verney as they walk through their favorite things at Hilles House. As Blow concludes? “Hilles was the perfect theatrical background for her.”
