Daphne Guinness. Daphne Guinness projects
Daphne Guinness's fingers are always decorated with a dozen rings - and it seems that she has a fortune in her hands. Although the fashionista herself claims that this is a sham. “My jewelry shouldn't be too expensive. It's silver, not even gold. People think I'm all about couture. Yes it is. But good things don't have to be terribly expensive. I love earrings and rings made of different metals, it’s very aristocratic,” she explained.
Daphne expressed her hidden love for diamonds in the creation of her first designer jewelry - the Contra Mundum (“Against the Whole World”) glove, woven from steel wire and inlaid with five thousand diamonds. It weighs 18 carats, costs $1.76 million and is made to the exact measurements of Guinness's hand. But the woman also refused the pompous knightly armor and put it in London gallery White Cybe: "My metal hand- part of a four-year project. But it is not for wearing, but for enjoying. A real work of art, which was inspired by my friendship with the surrealists.”
Agree, there is nothing surprising in the fact that the heiress of the intoxicating Guinness surname has good taste and a full wardrobe of haute couture clothes - rich women often express themselves in this way. However, the name of 47-year-old Daphne Guinness does not just appear on the spread of gossip columns, but stands on the poster of the Fashion Museum in New York, as if she famous designer or a world celebrity. Who is this fragile lady with skunk-dyed hair and shoes that resemble medieval guns torture, and why is she shown in a museum during her lifetime? To call Daphne Guinness an ordinary fashionista would be simply unfair!
Tom Ford: “Daphne is one of the most stylish women of our time, if not the only one.”
In the semi-darkness of the museum halls, the mirrors endlessly multiply by the mannequins standing behind the net and looking like Daphne. They say that the idea for the Daphne Guinness on View exhibition was inspired by the interiors of her home. From September 2011 to January 2012, at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, you could see 100 outfits from the wardrobe of this incredible, but very real woman. According to curator Valerie Steele, such recognition is rare: it is usually those who create the clothes, not those who wear them, who are exhibited. Today, there are only a few names (Jackie Kennedy, Mona von Bismarck, Grace Kelly) whose wardrobe has been canonized by art critics. Why is Guinness style interesting to us today? Because she single-handedly saves the world - the disappearing world of couture.

Daphne Guinness: “Fashion is not just trends. This is real political history. At the end of the Roman era, there was a whole movement against togas because they represented the Roman Empire. In the same way, the 60s, for example, were a reaction to the 50s. And now they are feeding us carrion - there is an endless processing of the past. What word can describe the last 10 years? Nothing even comes to my mind... Maybe the corporate age? Not the century of progress! Grunge was the last movement to grow out of an art form, in this case music."
Her last name speaks for itself. Daphne's father is an Irishman, Baron Jonathan Guinness, heir to the brewing empire, by order of which the Guinness Book of Records was created. His mother was the notorious Diana Mitford, cousin of Winston Churchill and mistress of the founder of the British Union of Fascists. By the way, it was this grandmother who first brought Daphne to a fashion show - the Givenchy couture show. Daphne's mother is Frenchwoman Suzanne Lisney, an artist, friend of Salvador Dali and Man Ray. Before marrying her, John-than Guinness already had two sons and a daughter from his first marriage; In addition to Daphne, Lisney also gave birth to a son. And then Jonathan had an affair on the side: a relationship with a certain Susan Taylor added three more heirs to him. In general, among stepbrothers and the Daphne sisters - even the creator of the famous lip-shaped handbags, Lulu Guinness. Daphne (actually Daphne Suzanne Diana Joan Guinness) was born on November 9, 1967 in Hampstead, one of the most expensive areas of London. Her family lived alternately in England and Ireland, and spent the summer in Cadaques, Spain, next door to Salvador Dali and Man Ray. Dali then had a small boat “Gala”, and he took the baby with him to collect mussels on the rocks.
Daphne Guinness: “At all at a young age there are things that captivate you... For example, when I talk about music, I begin to remember the smells of my childhood, and it’s akin to time travel. My mother, flower market in the Spanish city of Figueres; the town of Cadaqués, where I grew up... In the summer we filled vats with tuberose flowers, and the whole house was filled with this aroma. This is the smell from my childhood. I collected the tuberose, then put it on greaseproof paper and left it for several days. After this, a gel was obtained. Tuberose is not as beautiful as peony, but its scent is different from all others, I love it. I love the scents of Middle Eastern forests. I grew up in the 1970s when everyone was running around with incense sticks and banging on tambourines.”
The bohemian party and art objects that surrounded Daphne since childhood could not but influence her taste and lifestyle. In the 1980s, she visited her sister in New York, where she spent time with Andy Warhol and Studio 54 club founder Ian Schrager. There she met her future husband Spyros Niarchos, son Greek tycoon-ship owner. In 1987, at the age of 20, Daphne married him.
Daphne Guinness: “When I was married, I felt like a bird in a Faberge cage? I remember long, boring trips on yachts to the Greek islands and luxury resorts. I remember Saint-Tropez, all these people in swimsuits eating canapés. I didn't want to sit there half-naked, among sweaty people. It wasn't mine."

Looking at this eccentric " eternal girl“with a chiseled figure, it’s hard to even imagine that there was a place in her life for children and everyday worries. But Daphne is a mother of three children! At 22, she gave birth to a son, Nicholas, two years later, a son, Alexis, and four years later, a daughter, Ines. Daphne was involved in children, her husband was involved in politics, their interests did not coincide. After 12 years they divorced. Having received £20 million in compensation after the divorce, Daphne returned maiden name and started everything from scratch. Despite the ostentatious glitter that accompanied them family life, Niarchos was conservative and did not approve of her fashion experiments. And Daphne herself had little interest in fashion. In old photographs, a pretty blonde in clothes from nameless brands does not in any way resemble the eccentric goddess of fashion bloggers. She took care of the house, children and sports... She jokes about her years of marriage - “this is when I didn’t seem to exist.” Now, having emerged from the shadow of her husband, rich and free, she took up what she had long liked - herself. According to Daphne, she developed her sense of style from adolescence, regularly visiting Kensington Market - the Mecca of goths and punks. From an early age, she fell in love with black taffeta dresses, revealing leather outfits, uniforms and boyish silhouettes.

Daphne Guinness: “When I was a schoolgirl, I went to Kensington Market and bought everything there that was even slightly different from classic shape, but what could you still wear on the doorstep of the school? I was very upset when this “point” was closed. Nowadays, fashion is done at a meeting of the board of directors, but before you could look at how a person is dressed and understand what kind of music he likes, what tribe he belongs to. For as long as I can remember, I have always been an outsider. I didn’t want to be part of just one club.”
Intuitively, Daphne joined the fashion game of British dandies, be it Joe Strummer, the admiral's grandson and punk from The Clash, or the British aristocrats of the 19th century, who violated class roles and deliberately imitated the manners of coachmen. Having received the best classical education and learned freedom of expression from the informal, she dared to create her own work of art - herself. Naturally, with a noticeable amount of irony (hello, Dali!) and absolutely not shy about funds (hello, Niarchos!). This is where she differs from other rich fashionistas: for Guinness, all these brands are not about status, but about the art of playing with meaning. She mixes expensive couture from her personal collection and “priceless” masterpieces from punk markets, natural smells of moss, clay, amber, and churches into perfume for Comme des Garç5ons. High heels, giant glasses Alexander McQueen, legs pulled into black sparkling leggings - Daphne seems like a fascinating insect from a science-fiction film. And her signature hair color - almost gray with dark strands - is quite worthy of the nomination “most successful mistake” in the Guinness Book of Records.
Daphne Guinness: “I was applying paint. First, a red strand appeared at the bottom, then it turned purple and turned into eggplant. I thought I was turning into a 12-year-old. Apparently I did something wrong. Now I can no longer get rid of it, except to shave my head and paint it black. In general, I decided to take advantage of this mistake - and entered the image of Cruella de Vil. Now I don’t attach any significance to these black and white strands and don’t see anything special about it at all.”
Freed from family ties, Daphne quickly found a “soulmate” who was also obsessed with the world of fashion: she celebrated her divorce in the company new girlfriend Isabella Blow, dressed as a funeral pony with a funeral plume on her head. Isabella at that time was a fashion editor at the British Tatler, and Daphne began helping her on the set, completely free of charge. Two eccentrics, they understood each other perfectly, and Daphne plunged headlong into the world of London bohemia. They were united by a love of unimaginable outfits and cheerful friends - designer Alexander McQueen, photographer David LaChapelle, jeweler Sean Lin, hatmaker Philip Treacy. Daphne considers Isabella's suicide one of the main losses of her life. Another blow was the death of McQueen. These were the most terrible months for her. When the Blow sisters put the deceased’s wardrobe up for auction at Christie’s in 2010 to cover her debts, Daphne bought it in its entirety before the auction began. She couldn't allow Izzy's entire life's collection, including ninety outfits donated by McQueen personally, to be torn to pieces by strangers who wanted souvenirs. At the same time, Guinness sold half of her own wardrobe, and with the proceeds of half a million pounds she founded the Isabella Blow Foundation (now it is supported by Lady Gaga, a big fan of Daphne).
Daphne Guinness: “For me the foundation has become a symbolic matter. In such a whimsical way, the death of Izzy and Alexander opened the way for young designers: with this money we pay for their education at St. Martins College of Art and Design. I think Izzy would definitely love it.”
Having met key figures modern fashion, Daphne receives cooperation offers one after another. In 2004, she produced the film Cashback, nominated for an Oscar, in 2006 she launched her clothing line “Daphne” together with the conceptual boutique Dover Street Market, and in 2009 she named her fragrance for Comme Des Garç5ons with the same name. she herself shoots a promotional video for Mnemosyne (by the way, nominated for a Webby Award). Daphne agrees to become the face of the Akris brand and the cosmetics companies Nars and MAC. She closes the Tom Ford show and plays in the short film “The Legend of the White Snake Lady,” dedicated to Alexander McQueen. Films are made about her and she is featured in rap videos, and the number of professional photographers she works with is increasing every month. Last news- filming a full-length film and recording a music album in pancodelic style. Guinness assures that it puts its soul into all its projects, always delving into the details, and does not just slap its name on the label. This principle largely applies to her personal life: her relationship with a married man French journalist and the philosopher Bernard Henri-Lévy (the one whom detractors call “Death Itself” because revolutions and unrest break out after his appearance) have been an “open secret” since 2008, until Harper’s Bazaar magazine quoted her words in February 2011 : “It’s pretty obvious that he’s the love of my life.”
Daphne Guinness: "They call me socialite, but this is not about me. I have no retinue - no agent, no assistant, no security guard. Halls where there is nowhere for an apple to fall frighten me. I have no idea what all these people are talking about or what I can tell them. I also hate gossip. Therefore, I prefer to communicate with trusted friends. As I get older, I become more and more convinced that the world is not so friendly. I need armor - I realized this a long time ago.”
Yes, judging by Daphne’s wardrobe exhibited in the museum, there is nowhere in the fashion world without armor: her incomprehensible, cosmic dresses are complemented by spikes, rivets and enveloping draperies. She creates all her outfits together with designers, embodying what she cannot find in reality (in fact, this is why French haute couture is still alive). And yes, she is a gymnast and can wear the strangest shoes! And not so long ago, jeweler Sean Lin, by order of Daphne, handmade a glove woven from steel wire and encrusted with five thousand diamonds, made exactly to the size of her hand. The surreal piece, valued at $1.76 million, was called Contra Mundum (“Against the World”) and immediately went to the progressive art gallery White Cube.
Daphne Guinness: “I try to avoid platitudes, especially when it comes to diamonds. Now I have a real glove like medieval knights! I probably owe my strange love for armor to the surrealists. It's not even jewelry, but a work of art. This is the thing I have dreamed of since childhood. There is something mysterious, almost mystical, about her. And I’m incredibly happy!”
Daphne Guinness is generally full of poetry and fantasy, which, unfortunately, are disappearing from modern life, just as couture is disappearing. And the value of her personality for us is not only in her numerous art projects and the opportunity to sponsor old and new talents, but also in the fact that she is a living carrier of unique information about a disappearing world, the world of her childhood. And, of course, Daphne Guinness is art herself!
Text Olga Shcherbakova
You can be a style icon for intellectuals. You can become the muse of designers and fashion editors. You can gain recognition from hipsters. To the couture collector, art-house director, designer and muse of designers Daphne Guinness I succeeded in everything at once.
Daphne is hiding
Daphne Suzanne Diana Joan Guinness or simply Daphne Guinness Even before birth, she was programmed to become different from everyone else. After all, her ancestors came up with Guinness Book of Records. The English transcription of the spelling of Daphne's surname is known not only to letter readers. Irish beer Guinness is not just beer. The heiress to a beer empire is not just a wealthy fashionista.
Daphne was born 44 years ago into the family of Jonathan Guinness and his second wife Suzanne Lisney. Most of the girl's childhood was spent in Ireland. The most interesting thing began in the summer, when Daphne and her mother were visiting Spain at the villa of Salvador Dali. Rumor has it that Daphne swam in his pool filled with lobsters. “Cadaques is a small village where bohemians lived. No shops, restaurants, telephones or television. Dali had a boat called "Gala", and we often collected mussels with him on rocky shore. It was a fantastic time." remembers Daphne Guinness.
In the 80s, Daphne left cozy Europe and moved to New York, where her sister Katarina worked with Andy Warhol. Daphne’s schedule in a strange way (although everything strange was natural for her even then) combined opera vocal lessons and parties at Studio 54. Both of these plus “Factory” completely changed Daphne’s style. She began to appear in outfits that could not be ignored, even given the bohemian atmosphere. But the purpose of dressing up was exactly the opposite - to hide.
Either in New York or on ski resort in Switzerland, Guinness met the Greek shipowner - billionaire Spyros Niarchos. When Daphne was 20, they got married. They lived together for 12 years, gave birth to three sons and divorced. “God, when I was married I felt like a bird in a cage. I remember long, boring trips on yachts to the Greek islands and luxury resorts. I remember Saint-Tropez, all these people in swimsuits eating canapés. I didn't want to sit there half-naked, among sweaty people. It’s not for me, you know?” We understand, Daphne.
Flying out of the golden cage, poor thing rich girl received £20 million, part of which she spent on upgrading her wardrobe. 10 years later she started an affair with French writer Bernard-Henri Levy. Smart. Attractive. Rich. Married. The millionaire could not keep the secret for long. In the February 2011 issue of the American Harper's Bazaar, journalist and Daphne's friend Derek Blasberg quoted the insidious homewrecker: "He is the love of my life." Apparently, Levi had a different opinion, and the couple soon broke up.
Daphne against everyone
As is often the case with rich, strong and intelligent women, Daphne knows a little bit of everything. “I can’t express myself at all, that’s what’s terrible. I am constantly trying to find expression for my thoughts, to capture “the one.”
Wrote articles. She has produced, directed and acted in films. I designed clothes and fragrances. She sang on stage at a New York club with the group Element 4 and will soon record an album. She wrote articles and posed for magazines... However, Daphne is not interested in gloss. It's the editors and stylists who keep their eyes on her. Guinness became the heroine of filming for Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, V Magazine, Interview, Purple Fashion. But main project Daphne Guinness- she herself. No wonder Levi’s ex-lover said: “Daphne, you are no longer human. You are a concept."
What does this concept consist of? For those who have seen the world of fashion, Daphne's style is not so unique. She continues the work of her friend Isabella Blow. She also had a tendency to exaggerate and loved theatrical outfits and feathers. After the Met ball, Valentino remarked: “You can easily find out where Daphne is. You need to follow the trail of feathers that fell from her dress” (Guinness came to the event in a dress made entirely of feathers by her friend and favorite designer Alexander McQueen).
And yet, Daphne Guines brought her own know-how to the fashion world. Guinness began to express the desire to hide from the world, which she had in New York, through armor and other military themes of the 18th century. " Strange love for armor I owe to the surrealists.” The main detail of it military uniform became a glove made of steel wire, encrusted with 5,000 diamonds. Daphne took four years to create it together with jeweler Shaun Lean. The decoration was called Contra Mundum (“Against the whole world”).
Miss Guinness doesn't care what they write in the "In/Out" columns. “I play by my own rules. I hate it must have. I don't like it when someone tells me what to buy for the new season. As soon as something becomes a must-have, I immediately want to throw it away.” In any situation, she wears exclusively haute couture without the admixture of H&M T-shirts or Acne jeans. She doesn't wear T-shirts or jeans at all. “I still buy couture, but not in such quantities as before, and I’m careful when choosing things because they all cost a lot of money. The great thing is to be involved in the process of creating an outfit. Plus it will last a very long time.”
Daphne's style is always thought out to the smallest detail. She chooses perfume as a starting point. Then he adds the main detail, from which he builds the whole image. And finally, he checks the proportions. To understand what colors Daphne prefers, just look at her head. White hair with two black strands is the result of an unsuccessful trip to the hairdresser. However, Daphne turned the incident into her trademark. She calls herself Cruella de Ville, the petty bastard from 101 Dalmatians. Bloggers do not mince words and dubbed the experiment “skunk hairstyle.”
So, Daphne Guinness's favorite color scheme- b/w. She can appear in public in a transparent dress, a jacket embroidered with large rhinestones or lobster claw shoes from McQueen. But all these delights will most often be black or white.
Of course, Daphne hates the it bag phenomenon. “I’ve been wearing the same bag for five years and I haven’t thought about buying a new one.” But she is part of a small circle of select people who can gracefully wear the crazy shoes of Alexander McQueen, Nina Ricci and Noritaka Totehana. Another favorite accessory of Daphne is jewelry. And then the sense of proportion leaves her for a while. Style icon, according to her in my own words, puts on as many spillikins as he can carry. But - “My jewelry should not be too expensive. You see, it’s not gold, but silver.”
Daphne along with everyone
Daphne style can be described as “intelligent shocking”. She understands the importance of proportions. She knows that bright colors distract from a complex cut. And he is not afraid to experiment. For this, she is loved not only by fashion editors, but also by designers, for example Karl Lagerfeld. True, Guinness modestly notes that its mission is not to inspire, but to suggest.
Everyone wants Daphne. And Daphne refuses few people. Own clothing line for Dover Street Market. Daphne fragrance for Comme Des Garsons with notes of bitter orange, incense, saffron, rose, oud and vanilla. The face of the Swiss brand Akris has changed beyond recognition (Daphne with a black bob and graphic makeup - this is a must see). A line of cosmetics for Nars and MAC with your favorite beauty products: gray eye shadow, pink and burgundy lipstick.
As befits its status, the style icon’s wardrobe was given the honor of being put on public display. In 2011, the New York University Fashion Institute of Technology hosted a retrospective of Daphne Guinness on View: 100 exhibits, including items from Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana, Azzedine Alaia, Chanel, Dior, Tom Ford, Karl Lagerfeld, Balenciaga, Givenchy, Valentino , Commes des Garcons, Rick Owens, Gareth Pugh, Philip Treacy and part of Isabella Blow's wardrobe (Daphne bought it entirely at Christie's auction so that "Izzy's lifelong collection would not be taken to pieces by souvenir lovers").
As befits her status, Daphne is no stranger to charity. At one auction, she sold 10 rails of her clothes and accessories. All proceeds were transferred to the Womankind Foundation, which deals with women's issues in developing countries. On June 27, Guinness will again part with part of its collection. Christie's will exhibit Noritaka Totehana shoes and dresses: silver Alexander McQueen, Christian Lacroix bustier, silk with Christopher Kane embroidery, black Lanvin organza. All money (the organizers plan to raise 160 thousand pounds) will be donated to the Isabella Blow Foundation.
It seems like no matter how much you want Daphne Guinness hide, her outfits have the opposite effect. You can't help but notice her. You can't help but admire her. Finally, try to beat her record and walk all day in 20cm stilettos.
Daphne Guinness is a British beauty known for her eccentric style, black and white hairstyle always topped with vertiginous flat heels.

Valentino: For Daphne, life is a stage, be it funerals or balls, she makes a performance out of everything. But behind the extravagant image hides the sweetest and most gentle human being.
Ford: Daphne is not only a uniquely stylish beauty, she is a very honest and sincere person. She is integral and direct in in the best sense this word.
The French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy once told her that she was not a person, but a concept.
Daphne is constantly engaged in creative activities, working on projects,
In 2007, in collaboration with London-Dover Street Market, Daphne launched her own clothing line, Daphne. In 2009, she created a perfume with Comme Des Garsons.
In the same year, she became the face of Nars cosmetics (the creator of which, Francois Nars, considers her his main muse).
She held an auction where she sold 10 rails of clothing and accessories from her own collection. She donated the proceeds to charity to solve the problems of women in developing countries.
Films and produces films, works as a model and collaborates with photographers
An expert in poetry, she studied Shakespeare at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London and studied opera singing.
Her wardrobe is so magnificent (Azzedine Alaïa, Karl Lagerfeld, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen) that it was awarded an exhibition in New York in 2011-2012.
Two more projects: "couture armor", encrusted with diamonds, which she worked on for 4 years with jeweler Shaun Leane.
And a film about the death of Jean Seberg, where she played the main role.
"The Murder of Jean Seberg" (2011)
DG about himself, his beauty secrets and preferences:
I take hot baths with olive oil, no product cares for our skin as much as a few drops olive oil added to the bath. While taking a bath, I sing or listen to my favorite music - Bob Dean, Lou Reed, David Bowie.
I really love decorative cosmetics (my favorites are Charlotte Tilbury, Tom Ford, M.A.C., NARS) and perfumes.
I love mixing perfumes, my favorite notes are patchouli and tuberose. Every time I make different bouquets that differ in at least one note.
I'm already tired of telling the story of my hairstyle. My hairdresser friend got the white feathers by accident and took root. Now I often make them myself; I always take peroxide with me on the road. Painting takes 5 minutes!
When choosing what to wear, I always listen to loud music. It takes much less time than you might think. I dress intuitively, depending on my mood. I think it's very important not to take yourself too seriously. I love to experiment. But if you're stuck, try a Chanel suit or a gray McQueen knee-length dress. Alexander created it for me and I ordered several copies.
I can put a turban or a hat with a veil on my head. I also love costume jewelry, especially brooches.
I don't really like the word eccentric, but my assistant finds it eccentric when I freeze my credit card in a cup of water. I do this when I exceed all spending limits.
I usually eat at home. I love regular British food: roast chicken with soup and rice pudding for dessert. My weakness is popcorn and popsicles. And I also drink Patrón tequila neat.
To relax, I listen to music, meditate, and get a massage. I couldn't live without music, perfume, books. I read wherever possible. My favorite book is "Anna Karenina". I never stop enjoying Nabokov.
I like to read from magazines The New Yorker, Foreign Affairs, AnOther Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue.
My favorite movie is 2001: A Space Odyssey. I love watching "Game of Thrones".
I collect books, art, jewelry, vintage musical equipment. I have a whole wall of dried butterflies.
I don't have any pets. I had a baby snake in Mexico when I lived there for a month many years ago. Since then, no one.
At 48, she released her first album, “Optimist in Black,” as a singer, which echoed the psychedelia of the 60s and rock of the 70s. Daphne herself acknowledges influences in her music ranging from Bach to Bob Dylan and Abba.
But her most important talent is dressing. For her, putting on a couture dress is like putting your feet into slippers for mere mortals. She decorates her hair with carats of diamonds as naturally as a little girl ties a bow.
"If I spend too much time thinking about what to wear, I don't get anything done at all!" she says, shrugging.
If she doesn't find something she likes, she creates it for herself, not being interested in the wider demand.
“I grew up in a family where they talked about history, and not about how to make money. I am completely incapable of business!”
Daphne Guinness has never used the services of a stylist and cannot even imagine that someone would decide for her what to wear.
"Nobody told Elizabeth Taylor what to wear! I was separated from the world for 15 years when I was married. And now that I'm back, I found a lot of new things - for example, the concept of a stylist."
I treat my clothes like jewelry, like works of art. Although I know that people who collect clothes are considered vain and narcissistic.
Yes, I dress strangely, but I don't do it for the fashion crowd, but for the older people who smile when they see me at the airport. I love walking in my heels in front of people and suddenly quickly taking them off, they look up from their laptops in shock, and you are already 10 inches shorter! It is very funny. You can dress in this style only if you approach it with humor.
I don't chase fashion, fashion chases me! I just like to dress to make people happy.
