All Hail Daphne Guinness

I'm not one for having girl crushes however Daphne Guinness would be my one, for the record the Urban Dictionary defines a girl crush as feelings of admiration and adoration which a girl has for another girl, without wanting to shag said girl. a nonsexual attraction before the rumours start spreading.

Her love and intense protection over fashion and everything to do with it is a large part of this crush whilst the other part is the look and the fact she truly is a modern day role model.

Heritage

The Hon. Daphne Suzannah DIana Joan Guinness is the daughter of Jonathon Guinness, 3rd Barone Moyne and his second wife Suzanne Lisney.

The States

In the mid-1980s, she lived in New York City with her sister Catherine Guinness, who was a companion of Andy Warhol. She married Spyros Niarchos, son of the Greek shipping billionaire Stavros Niarchos, in 1987 at the age of 19, but divorced in 1999 with a reported settlement of about £20 million. On December 8th 2009, she appeared in KiD CuDi's music video, Pursuit of Happiness

Fashion icon

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 was a model in Naomi Campbell's Fashion for Relief runway show for the White Ribbon Alliance to raise funds for mothers in Haiti in 2010. In September 2010, NARS Cosmetics will launch a new collection dedicated to her.

She recently bought Isabella Blow's entire wardrobe before it got auctioned off as she couldn't bare to see separated it but has no idea what she is going to do with it.

FInal Daphne fact, you will rarely see her out of her own designed platform Mary J's which she designed and had made in various colours. Why? Because she designed the proportion of the platform to the heel so she could do every day chores such as "Febreeze-ing" her home furnishings . . .

Daphne we salute you!
