Add to Google “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.

We’re judged by what we wear. If Lavinia is donning a straight-off-the-runway Cavalli gown, we’d probably guess that she’s “somebody” – somebody who has the means, power, and influence to snatch the frock before it hits the street.

Oscar de la Renta and André Leon Talley’s Spanish Dress Exhibit
“[Oscar de] la Renta decided Balenciaga’s contribution is so important, that Nicolas Ghesquière’s helmet and leather tunic jacket, inspired by Spanish fishermen’s tunics, should be installed on its own in a special vitrine in the lobby, the first thing one sees upon entering,” André Leon Talley writes in his column in Vogue.
