Daphne Guinness
I'm normally late, so I just kind of throw on the sort of thing that's at hand. And then I'll go through phases of wearing the same thing again and again and again.

Daphne Guinness
But things don't necessarily have to be that expensive to be good. As long as they are expensive enough to last.
Daphne Guinness
Elizabeth Taylor was never told what to wear or paid to carry a certain handbag.
Daphne Guinness
I really try to understand what people are saying and answer as honestly as I can. But sometimes it's like they try to tie you into knots. That's why I mostly steer clear of the popular press. I try not to read . . . Well, I never read gossip press. I just read books. And I never switch on the TV any more.
Daphne Guinness
I don't approach fashion fashion approaches me!
Daphne Guinness
Human beings all mimic each other.
Daphne Guinness
People always assume I don't need to work for money, but my divorce settlement was not as much as it's always reported to be.
Daphne Guinness
