Daphne Guinness is an English singer songwriter, fashion designer, actress, film producer and muse to David LaChapelle. She is part of the aristocratic Guinness family, and she is known for her instantly recognisable style which includes a high, heel-less shoe and towering black and platinum hairstyle. Daphne has spent decades redefining what it means to be a true original, breaking away from her traditional background. From founding The Isabella Blow Foundation to releasing her latest album Sleep, her work and her performance transcends boundaries. Trained at the Slade School of Fine Art, Daphne went on to collaborate with fashion icons Alexander McQueen and Isabella Blow. They were so much more than work relationships, more like acquiring a new family. For someone who would seem like an exhibitionist on first sight, Daphne is a shy person who pushes against her natural inclination to be hidden. She talks about her inspirations, how music has saved her life, and how she weaves fashion into every aspect of her existence.
