My basic mathematics is rather weak, so when some of the theories are broken into equations, I get rather lost.
Daphne Guinness
I don't approach fashion fashion approaches me!
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
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 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
Sunglasses are great, but I always feel a bit pretentious wearing sunglasses. I mean, I do love to wear them.
Daphne Guinness
I play piano and I sing. But I do that for fun. I mean, I do everything for fun.
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
As I got older I looked at the world and I realised, we need armour. So my jewellery and clothes became my armour
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
If I eat, I can't work. I'll eat when I'm dead.
