Daphne Guinness
- In her closet: Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Rick Owens tees (for working out)
- Iconic outfit: Full McQueen Spring 2010 look at François Nars' book signing, 2009
- Key accessory: A veil
- Thing you can't imitate: Walking in "heel-less" high heels
Guinness may be petite—she once made a pair of
Alexander McQueen's "lobster" shoes fit by stuffing them with
newspaper—but she knows how to make a big sartorial statement. What singles the
haute heiress out, though, is how deeply felt her devotion to fashion is. When
Christie's announced its intention to auction off the late Isabella Blow's
wardrobe earlier this summer, Guinness bought the lot. "It's Issy—it's her
DNA—it should not be scattered to the four winds. I want it to remain as a
monument," she said. One thing's for sure: We'll be queuing up at the
Museum at FIT to see an exhibition of Guinness' own couture collection when it
goes on view next year.
