EXPOSED: HEIRESS DAPHNE GUINESS

 

 

 

 

 

feature - There is a certain type of customer who can make a shop assistant's day.

The couture-loving socialite, heiress and film producer Daphne Guinness is

just that customer, and, as she whooshes through the door of Dover Street

Market, a blur of pigeon's-blood nail polish and badger-striped hair, one can

 feel the collective clasping of fingertips, the swell of admiration, from the floor.

Guinness is prominent in the fashion world as a style icon, journalist

and noted collector of Haute couture. She has an interest in the use

of armour in fashion. She is like an older version of Victoria Beckham, right?
