Daphne + MAC

Daphne Guinness launched her new MAC make up collaboration during the week... In typical Daphne fashion, its a mix of dark and striking shades.

Fit like a Glove!

When two creatives collide, it usually results in a stunning piece of work, and the glove above is no exception. The collaboration between legendary style icon Daphne Guinness and fine jeweller Shaun Leane took over four years to be realized. Named Contra Mundum (translated as Against the World), the armour-inspired gauntlet is made up of more than a thousand grams of gold and is set with over 5,000 pavé white diamonds.

Long Live McQueen.

Anna Wintour, Daphne Guinness, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Stella McCartney and Sarah Jessica Parker at Alexander McQueen's memorial service held in St. Paul's Cathedral, London. Bjork sang Glummy Sunday. It sounds like a beautiful goodbye.

The Honourable Daphne Guinness

Yesterday I posted about the amazing Daphne Guinness having a showcase of all her couture (I know, amazing) so when I was looking up images of Daphne I came across this wonderful editorial from Italian Vogue shot by the one and only Steven Klein.

Daphne Guinness' Showcase. Are you dying yet?

via The Cut

Daphne Guinness will exhibit 80 to 100 pieces from her clothing collection at F.I.T.'s museum from September 2011 through January 2012. The exhibit will include pieces by Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Comme des Garçons, Dolce & Gabbana, and Azzedine Alaïa. Better yet, the exhibit will be immortalized in a book by the awfully scholarly sounding Yale University Press, which for now is the closest we'll come to our dream of Daphne Guinness penning her own version of Eat, Pray, Love (by the way, who's excited for THAT movie?). F.I.T.'s chief museum curator will work with Guinness on the exhibit, and plans to highlight Guinness's particular fashion interests, ranging from sleeves and neck ruffles to accessories including hats, veils, and ribbons. Sounds like the Met's Costume Institute has some serious competition. Let's hope F.I.T.'s won't include the same long lines and feelings of claustrophobia

Oh my God I love this woman so much, this is all adding to my move to New York and live the dream dream of mine! I'm there.
