More quotes by Daphne Guinness
Elizabeth Taylor was never told what to wear or paid to carry a certain handbag.
Daphne Guinness
I can't understand it when people are closed-minded. I mean, boy, have I made mistakes and been very wrong. I can't tell you the amounts of times I've been let down, but I still try to see the best in people.
Daphne Guinness
Fashion is not just about trends. It's about political history. You can trace it from the ancient Romans to probably until the '80s, and you can see defining moments that were due either to revolutions or changes in politics.
Daphne Guinness
I don't like to look at myself in the mirror, which is why my eye makeup is always crooked.
Daphne Guinness
I really don't understand the idea of a celebrity stylist. Is it a real job? I know there's unemployment, but frankly the railways need to be fixed, too.
Daphne Guinness
I practice stoic philosophy. As a human being, you may have emotions, but these don't need to affect your soul. The two are not one.
Daphne Guinness

Daphne Guinness
I don't dress for effect, and I think that it never works out when someone does.

Daphne Guinness
Eccentric is a difficult word because it's come to mean crazy. Avant-garde would be better. Eccentric is not centric in terms of having a center. Because sometimes it's used in a derogatory context.
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
I think life is about having the mixture of the curiosity of an older person and the imagination of a child.
Daphne Guinness
I'd quite like to have one place where I stay put. And I don't like living in cities all the time. In order to have ideas, you have to have some peace and quiet.
Daphne Guinness
If I eat, I can't work. I'll eat when I'm dead.
Daphne Guinness
Everyone thought I was going to fall down on my shoes and I kept saying, 'Well if I do I'll just get up!'
Daphne Guinness
Human beings all mimic each other.
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. My wardrobe is mainly about black and white, so it goes together. I'll play with certain elements, but it's - I don't really think too much about it.
Daphne Guinness
I don't approach fashion fashion approaches me!
Daphne Guinness
I know sometimes I can come off like a lonely spinster in a tower. That's not me at all.
Daphne Guinness
Life is full of banana skins. You slip, you carry on.
