“The Daphne Guinness Collection” Pre-Sale Exhibit at Christie’s
Having famously bought her late friend Isabella Blow’s fashion collection in its entirety to stop a planned auction last year, Daphne Guinness now takes it one step further to show her devotion to her beloved friend: the heiress will auction off at Christie’s one hundred pieces from her own avant-garde collection this summer, and she’ll use the proceeds to launch the Isabella Blow Foundation, a charity Guinness has set up in honor of Blow.

Fashion can be tricky. Some of us attempted to express ourselves through this art form only to end up looking like a fashion lunatic. So, the less adventurous among us decided to sit back and live vicariously through style icons.
