“I collect clothes like people collect cars, or stamps” -Daphne Guinness

The woman. The Icon. The Honourable

Daphne Guinness is a true Fashion Icon and is probably best known as being the Heiress to the Guinness beer fortune. She is also known as one the most avid collectors of Haute Couture fashion in the world. I have such a fascination with this woman who consumes my interest. She is beautiful, intriguing, mysterious and of course glamorous. I recently came upon a September Vogue Italia spread featuring Guinness entitled “The Honourable Daphne Guinness” and shot by Steven Klein and was actually styled by Daphne herself. It is a futuristic, 80’s Glam, twisted, high couture, visual masterpiece that blew my mind….and I loved it.
