Modern day renaissance women

Daphne Guinness is an incredibly fascinating woman. No doubt she's an icon but its amazing to me how she always portrays irresistible vintage beauty no matter what she wears. She was born in 1967, the daughter of brewery heir Jonathan Guinness and renowned French beauty Suzanne Lisney.
Daphne is known as a fashionista around the world. She has collected fashion, specifically haute couture, for a number of years.

She is an heiress, socialite, muse and mother and has been a fashion stylist, film producer, designer etc. Basically she's a human dynamo ! 

To see her in real life would be other worldly. Currently she has an exhibition at the museum at FIT- in NYC. Go check it out to see the fabulous collection of Haute couture she has. 

How amazing would it be to have a conversation over tea with her…
