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
Human beings all mimic each other.

Daphne Guinness
Elizabeth Taylor was never told what to wear or paid to carry a certain handbag.
Daphne Guinness
But things don't necessarily have to be that expensive to be good. As long as they are expensive enough to last.
