Daphne Guinness is a fashion stylist, film producer and member of the Guinness brewing family.
She grew up in an artists’ colony near Barcelona with Salvador DalÍ and the Surrealists;" My dress sense is very coloured by my youth. Everybody around me knew that DalÍ was the most crazy; you’d go to his house and he would have lobsters in his pool." There’s fancy dress and armor, clothes that say, “Come here” or “Stand back,” that whisper, “Trust me” or “Respect me,” that shout, “Fear me.” But there are very few people, just a handful, who have a relationship with their clothes like Daphne Guinness. She dresses out. She has never had a look, never once, never remotely, that was anyone’s but her very own. With a penchant for armor and feathers, the fashion muse Daphne Guinness has been to known to turn heads. But in her short film “The Phenomenology of Body,” the beer heiress cum director puts the politics of fashion on display. Taking the viewer through a revolving journey of how clothes have defined, constricted and liberated women throughout history, Guinness presents a stark catalog of vintage, new and costume pieces. The result — a spare voyage set to “Great Release” by LCD Soundsystem.

Daphne Guinness has worked on a shirt collection and fragrance for Comme des Garçons, and supported Sean Ellis in the making of the price winning shortfilm "Cashback" _ sometimes love lies within the seconds of you life.
