My basic mathematics is rather weak, so when some of the theories are broken into equations, I get rather lost.
Daphne Guinness
Life is full of banana skins. You slip, you carry on.
Daphne Guinness
I don't approach fashion fashion approaches me!
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 spend a lot of time upside down. It increases the blood flow to the brain, so it really helps your creativity.
Daphne Guinness
I don't dress for effect, and I think that it never works out when someone does.
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.

Fragrance takes you on a journey of time. You can walk down the street and pass someone and get taken back 20 years. It's very Proustian that way.

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

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
We need better things, not more. We should not pollute the world with meaningless, unused things when we can make and support things of rare and precious beauty.
Daphne Guinness
I know sometimes I can come off like a lonely spinster in a tower. That's not me at all.
Daphne Guinness
I dislike the idea of jewellery being like a price tag around someone's neck. It needs to be something else - and there is something extremely magical about armour.
Daphne Guinness
I don't like to look at myself in the mirror, which is why my eye makeup is always crooked.
Daphne Guinness
Elizabeth Taylor was never told what to wear or paid to carry a certain handbag.
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.
