I always find thought provoking images at a quietly elegant blog called STRAWBERIGE. She placed this triumvirate before her readers last week, Daphne Guinness in pose for photographer Oliver Zahm- in front of her own Damien Hirst created canvas.
What more could one ask for?
I did.
Had her apartment been photographed?
Then I remembered a video from the Guinness loving SCALA REGIA that I had bookmarked-ah yes- VOGUE ITALIA- makes you want to be an Italian,
No? They are always on the cusp of IT.
and just today- Guinness again-on the same. I beautiful portrait of her fashion majesty.
and again- Guinness- late in the day-when finally the much already touted ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST March 2011 issue arrived. Low in the middle of this issue written & produced by James Reginator, photographed by Thomas Loof and styled by Carolina Irving. Just what I would expect-brilliantly, beautifully, put together-
Voila! behold the sophisticated apartment of Daphne Guinness. sometimes feminine, nostalgic, reflective- and of course- Chic.
No spoilers here-ever. As you well know it drives me crazy, get the issue-don''t get the Reader's Digest Condensed version-it is never the same.

I love that woman. A true English eccentric. There should be more of her. xo
ReplyDeleteDaphne Guinness carries the beauty of the Mitford women. She is really a living work of art. I think you aptly dub her. The Damien Hirst work is phenomenal. I may have to get this issue and good detective work The video is superb.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video. Truly a spectacular persona. I think that if I were to be jealous of anyone, it would have to be Daphne Guinness--she is fearless.
ReplyDeleteA modern day Casati, to be sure.
ReplyDeleteClearly one of the great characters. Her apartment was decorated by Daniel Romualdez, a brilliant designer to the most glittering of sophisticates. His palace for Tory Burch was breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteI adore Daphne for her style....I think Gustav Klimt would have wanted to paint her. What a gorgeous lady.

She is indeed gorgeous, not I've got to go get that AD issue, thanks for the heads up! Maryanne;)
ReplyDeleteThe video shows off the apartment beautifully and she is very appealing in it.
ReplyDeleteReggie-yes the apartment is beautiful, Sure you already have this AD issue.
HOBAC-Casati indeed.
Patricia-definitely Klimt and like HOBAC says as with Casati she would have been painted by many! boldini especially too.
Jane and Anon- the Mitfords abound in them, that is why we return again and again. She is a rare bird in the best of ways.
ReplyDeleteMary- fearless.
Maryanne- do get the issue lots of other great things too. chock full!
as u know i love your blog. happens that i am terribly lazy and that's the reason why not even on mine i allow comments. but this time i had to comment. daphne guinness is the lost link between the modern/easy/practical (i abominate that word)way of living and another one, older, and much more exquisite and detail-concerned.
ReplyDeletegod save her
and you!
love
Diogo- delighted with your visit and comment! out from behind the curtain how nice. I agree. I like the idea that her fashion is armor- as I compared her to Lochinvar when she rescued Isabella Blow's collection. A noble deed indeed, Gaye
