The magpie sparkles at the FIT


"What draws me to fashion is art"- Daphne Guinness.
Known to those in industry as the couture goddess, Daphne Guinness' fashion favourites were on display at the FIT museum in an interesting exhibition. 
Her clothes were segmented into sections, including Dandyism (devoted to Daphne's "absolute passion for men's clothes"), armour, evening chic, chic, exoticism and sparkle.
Items designed by Alexander McQueen, Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Dior and Valentino were all readily on display. In the wise words of Guinness herself, "I don't do event dressing because everyday is an event," which was instantly noticeable throughout the exhibition.

Some notes and sketches I made throughout the exhibition:
