I have adored Daphne Guinness for the longest time. Anyone who consider themselves into fashion knows who she is, and if you don't then you should really reevaluate your dedication to fashion. I had the pleasure of meeting her once at the now defunct Beatrice and she could not have been more divine. Granted I had a dear friend introduce me because they were friends but nonetheless I got the pleasure of being in her presence. I remember the night quite vividly she was dancing under the disco ball with a gaggle of you beautiful men with chiseled faces and I'm sure chiseled bodies, but this isn't about them its about Daphne. She was dressed in this fantastic floor-length black couture gown in which she accessorized with her signature platform mary janes and all this gorgeous estate jewelry. She was everything I had ever imagined, that was when I realized why I adored Daphne Guinness so much. No, it wasn't because she showed up to Beatrice with a gaggle of gorgeous men wearing Haute Couture (that was kind of part of the reason) but the fact that after all these years she still manages to stay relevant and is always refurbishing old looks or trends and making them new again. For example the photos above with Gareth Pugh, he is 10+ years her junior but she still manages to go where no other woman or icon in her age bracket has ever gone before.
She is really the perfect definition of a muse she is always inspiring.
