Hasta La Ideas

Daphne Guinness, heiress to the Guinness family fortune, sure seems to know what she’s doing. Quite simply, she’s a haute couturier’s dream. She’s open to all sorts of eclectic, wacky, detailed styling – and has the collection to prove it. Although she seems to prefer a simple color palette of blacks, whites and creams, they never appear the same way. Whether it’s a kerchief neckline, Jetson-esque cap sleeves or leopard print detailing, Guinness can pull it off in spades. As one of the world’s most prolific collectors of haute couture (what wouldn’t you give to also hold that title?), she’s a risk-taker, and often a winner of the fashion set. Rather than sticking to any rules, she simply has fun. Think Alexander McQueen meets Karl Lagerfeld meets Vivienne Westwood. Check out my slideshow for a sampling of Daphne Guinness’ style!
