Description

A spectacular showcase of the inimitable style and haute couture collection of fashion icon Daphne Guinness "She is one of the-if not the-most stylish women living," says designer and film director Tom Ford, speaking of Daphne Guinness, the subject and co-author of this extraordinary book.

From her platinum-and-black striped hair to her towering 10-inch heels, her to-die-for couture collection and amazing diamond jewelry, Daphne Guinness embodies the rarified, personal style of a true fashion icon.

A designer, editor, model, muse, and stylist, Ms. Guinness is renowned for the way she uses fashion to transform herself.

As her friend, the art historian John Richardson puts it: "She is the object of her own creativity.

Her persona is her own masterpiece." Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel, Valentino, Azzedine Alaia, and the late Alexander McQueen are among the many great fashion designers whose spectacular garments form part of Daphne Guinness's personal collection of haute couture.

But Ms. Guinness is far more than a great couture client, she is also an inspiration to designers because of her fearless personal style.

In an extended interview with the curator and fashion historian Valerie Steele, Daphne Guinness explains the origins and characteristics of her style.

She also discusses her friendships and collaborations with other creative fashion personalities from the late Isabella Blow to the photographer Steven Klein and the jeweler Shaun Leane.

Sumptuously illustrated with both high-fashion photographs and paparazzi shots, the book is a spectacular showcase for the world of Daphne Guinness.
