Daphne Guinness Profile- O Magazine

Here is the piece I wrote for The U.K's O Magazine, the bi-annual fashion publication from The Observer newspaper in London. It came out just in time for Fashion Week. Needless to say it is always a thrill to interview Daphne. She is funny, quick witted and terribly smart.

Since I can't download PDF's on this site I had to save as jpeg and I don't think you can actually read it. But email me if you want a larger image or pick one up in Londontown. 







Seasonal Sappy Thoughts



I love writing. Not only do I get to learn something (or a plethora of things) daily but I really enjoy being able to support and promote friends. I of course never expect anything in return. As the iconic Daphne Guinness said to me last week through her lace veil (natch), "Darling if you can't give freely, why bother giving at all?" Those words really stuck. Even in her surreal filtering of life, she can really hit home. I was impressed. It just goes to show ONCE AGAIN that fashion people aren't all frocks and feathers.

Today, toiling away at my desk filing two stories, arguing with an editor about another and trying to sort the chaos of post Basel piles, the buzzer rang. I got to the door to find a gentleman with a giant orchid in hand. I pulled away the plastic and ribbons to find a note from J Alexander. I had interviewed him for The Moment when his book launched several weeks back and had an amusing time doing it. He is always such a treat.

Frankly, the note brought me to tears. What wit! What thought... and it's just what I needed as I coast into a world of writing full time nervous, anxious and totally excited. Thank you Miss J.
Indeed- MORE, MORE!
