Dreaming of Daphne

I just posted about Daphne Guinness' latest charitable endeavour over on my other blog, and while continuing my stalking session I came across this beautiful photo set by Bryan Adams (yes, that one) for Zoo magazine (not that one). Among them are some of my favourite images of the great lady. In images that recall those by Man Ray and the silvery sparkly portraits of Cecil Beaton, Adams succeeds in capturing Guinness as a surrealist heroine (in one image she is seen drinking out of a Meret Oppenheim-style fur teacup) of both the past and the future.

I NEEED a beige/camel coat like this for the Autumn.

A floor-length one would probably swamp anybody who wasn't six foot tall,

so I'd happily settle for a calf-length trench with a nipped in waist.

AMAZING hair.

Hellooo Daphne. This makes me want to get my blonde streak back!

 

I'm stocking up on silk headscarves and turbans for A/W! x
