Modern Fashion Icon - Daphne Guinness


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.
