The eccentric heiress, celebrity and Fashion Icon, Daphne Guiness is another great collector of Haute Couture.
The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York has just opened an exhibition that features approxi-mately 100 garments and accessories from her personal
collection, including designs from the likes of Alexander McQueen, Azzedine Alaïa, Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel, John Galliano for Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Rick Owens, Gareth Pugh, and Valentino.
Daphne Guinness' own designs are also on display. The exhibition is co-curated by Valerie Steele, Director and Chief Curator of The Museum at FIT. Check her out in this interview, by Nick Knight.
As an heiress to the Guiness Brewery and a divorcee to the Greek shipping billionaire Stavros Niarchos, she has the money to buy whatever she likes.
She is fearless and an inspiration for many designers. She even upgraded her own collection by buying the collection of her friend and distant relative, the late Isabella Blow last year, to preserve and keep it together. That´s nice.
