All tag results for 'daphne guinness'

Sold!

$1.7 million later, the Fashion for Sandy Relief Initiative auction presented by CFDA and Vogue has come to a close, and we are totally shocked by some of the results!

Who would have thought that a one-week internship with DKNY PR Girl Aliza Litch would garner more bids (34 in fact!) than meeting Anna Wintour at the 2013 Met Gala (a paltry 4 bids)?!

Of course the starting bid may have affected the number of people who

Holy couture!

Daphne Guinness is widely considered a major style icon, but she looks more like a futuristic style goddess on the December cover of Harper’s Bazaar China shot by David LaChapelle.

First Lady of Fierceness coming through!

Daphne Guinness turned everyone's head but her own last night at the New York City Ballet fall gala.

The Queen of Couture wore a rather mundane black dress that she spiced up with her self-designed Shaun Leane diamond glove, silver neck coil and signature heel-less shoes.

What's not to love about this?

Sleep is an essential ingredient in looking and feeling your best. A minimum of nine hours of sleep each night should be your goal.  Between hour eight and nine is when your body is rebuilding muscle so it is a crucial hour to be sleeping.  When you are well rested it will also show on your face with a refreshed look, and your skin, hair and nails will look fabulous too.  If you have trouble falling asleep, don't watch TV or work on your computer just before bed.  Studies show it is best to have an electronic curfew an hour before bed or else the light exposure before you try and fall asleep can throw off your body's rhythms and suppress the release of melatonin, which is the hormone that is vital to a good night's sleep.

Several fashion records were broken Wednesday night at the Daphne Guinness Collection auction in London.

A bidder from the US shelled out $133,075 for an Alexander McQueen ivory silk tulle empire line gown from the late designer's The Girl Who Lived In The Tree collection, making it the highest price paid for a McQueen creation at auction.

Oddly enough, the item that fetched the most money was not clothing, but a picture of Daphne, shot by Mario Testino and featured in the March 2008 issue of British Vogue.

It alone raised $208,003, a record sale for any Testino picture.

The third record breaker of the night was a Christian Lacroix Spanish style white lace dress with a black matador jacket, which sold for $25,366.

By the end of the auction, 90% of the 102 lots available sold and total of $744,285 was raised for the Isabella Blow Foundation.

Wow! AH-MAY-ZING! We're sure Issy and Lee are smiling down on Daphne!

Congrats on such a successful event!!!
