Starring Daphne Guinness...


I have been fascinated by Daphne Guinness ever since I saw her in the documentary about Valentino, The Last Emperor.  She appeared for about 10 seconds on screen but she made a very strong impression on me.  The following day, I was trying to find on the internet who this woman with bi-colored hair was. 
My favorite thing about her very unique style is her fabulous black and white hair and the way she wears it.  She looks like a monarchistic widow of another era who went shopping in the future.  Some people make fun of her hair but I think it's a masterpiece.  

I am showing you two clips today.  The first one is a documentary by filmmaker Brennan Stasiewicz and is an intimate portray of Daphne Guinness.  The second clip is very simple - the director bumped into her on the street and asked her about what she was wearing.  I love how she has that her style is a work in progress...isn't it for all of us fashion lovers?

  1. Here in the UK she is widely known for her quirky style and millions of pounds from her Guiness fortune. I think she is a very different person - to all we know. Eccentric, reminds me of Isabella Blow (and both were mentoring Alexander McQueen). She is an artist in a true meaning of this world.

  2. I think she is absolutely fabulous. I can't think of any other way to describe her. Although I'm very curious to know what her hair looks like when it's not in an updo!
