I reckon her Shaun Leane glove will be part of the exhibit (??) Anybody have a picture of it? I'd love to see what a glove for a world-renowned fashion-icon, that took 5 years to make, by a jewelry designer for a world-renowned fashion-designer, would look like.

daphne guinness is not promoting or selling anything...
except... it would seem...ART...
or maybe- fashion as art...life as art?...

wrong, she's working on quite a few endorsement deals. she also has a line out with MAC in the next month or so.

she seems absolutely insufferable.
maybe i'll check out the exhibit however.

 

[softgrey]

what's she doing for mac>?
is it her own line or is it a charity thing- like viva glam?

 

[lucy92]

she's doing a 21 piece collection for mac. its a special collection that will launch december 26th here and january internationally.

she's also starting a film production company.

Sorry to keep all of you waiting, I was in Montreal fainting over the JPG exhibition! It's traveling to Dallas and San Fran and if you get a chance to go, YOU MUST!! And the book, is the heaviest book I've ever bought for an exhibition.

ANYWAY, back to Daphne...these are the shots I've gotten so far..I'll be making more visits since I pass through the area almost everyday, so I'll be posting more. Forgive the quality as it was a COVERT operation and it was not well lit anyway...but the exhibition was breathtaking with video footage, movie trailers, and a hologram of Daphne doing some kind of performance above the exhibition room.

All pics taken by me

This is the first image you see when you go down the stairs to the exhibition:

I'll be trying to get more sometime this week. The book doesn't come out until the 16th, so these will have to do for now.

I can't wait for the MAC collection, I'll be looking out for it! i think the video she did as a tribute to McQueen (i think it's called the White Lady Dragon or something like that) could be a part of that. The trailer is being shown at the exhibition.

 

[softgrey]

thanks for the images educo...
good job!!!

I just saw this collection. It is beyond. . .my favorite part of the collection is Dandyism. I have a think for menswear too and some of the pieces look like something out of the 18th century (the cut of the jacket, the high collars, the chokers, etc) but all the pieces are modern. *swoon*

 

[educo]

What I love about the show is how it highlighted so many aspects of her personality through the clothing she wears. It's fascinating to know that this belongs to one woman.

pure weirdness !

I saw it and I thought it was amazing!!, the only little problem is that some of the dresses have a panel in front of them that doesn´t allow you to see well, besides as usual is very dark so at times I felt I was there, in the very front of an iconic dress but I couldn´t see well, it was a bit frustrating, problem aside, there are magnificent pieces, she must have enjoyed a lot the Chanel HC fall 2002 show because there are several suits and dresses that belong to that collection.
