Daphne Guinness
has been many things throughout her life: muse, film producer, actor, curator, designer, and philanthropist. She’s worked with many visionary creative minds, from the late Alexander McQueen and Karl Lagerfeld, to artists and photographers such as David LaChappelle and Nick Knight. She has designed collections with Comme des Garçons, consulted for Gucci, and ventured in the world of film, co-producing the Oscar-nominated short film Cashback and also starring in the art film The Murder of Jean Seberg. Daphne’s television appearances have included two seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race as a guest judge, and as special guest on Joanna Lumley's Great Cities Of The World. She has lectured twice at the V&A Museum, including their ‘In Conversation’ series. Along the way she has amassed hundreds of thousands of followers on TikTok with her disarming humour and willingness to poke fun at herself. It may be an over-used term, but Daphne Guinness is a true cultural icon.
