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.

Ballgowns: British Glamour - V&A’s Blockbuster Show for 2012
Before the 1950s, ballgowns were primarily reserved for elite private affairs. Now, they’re appearing in charity balls, opening nights, and red carpet events. “Since the 1950s, occasions for wearing formal attire have evolved from the private event to the public parade,” said Oriole Cullen, curator of Ballgowns: British Glamour Since 1950, a fashion exhibition that traces the evolution of eveningwear (Singh, 2011).
