Study in Scarlet
There are people who dress up and there are people who dress down. There are people who dress badly and there are people who dress inappropriately. Some dress blindly or cheaply, and there are those who barely dress at all. There are people who wear costumes, and people who wear uniforms. There's fancy dress and armor, clothes that say, "Come here" or "Stand back," that whisper, "Trust Me" or "Respect Me," that shout, "Fear Me." But there are very few people, just a handful, who have a relationship with their clothes like Daphne Guinness. The Guinness heir and fashion muse doesn't dress up or down. She dresses out. Her clothes don't say anything at all, because they're not talking to you. They're too entranced by Daphne Guinness. She has never had a look, never once, never remotely, that wasn't anyone's but her very own. And now she's making things (a shirt collection and a fragrance for Comme des Garcons) and selling things (a recent auction for her couture pieces raised more than a quarter of a million dollars for a women's charity). But if you ever find yourself sitting down next to Daphne on a late-night bus, in a soup kitchen, or in the waiting room of a tatoo parlor, for God's sake, don't talk about fashion. She can't bear it. She doesn't understand what all the fuss is about. ~A. A. Gill
