Daphne
Guinness' Directorial Debut
It's not Gone With the Wind," said Daphne
Guinness, London fashion icon, at the unveiling of her directorial debut, The Phenomenology
of Body, at the Hôtel de Crillon.
The four-minute film, which examines the
style choices of independent-minded women like Joan of Arc and Marie Antoinette,
may not be Scarlett and Rhett material, but it earned rave reviews from the
fashion muse's many admirers.
"She's fantastic with film.Let's get her a script
and a feature next," enthused Lady Amanda Harlech at Kaviar Kaspia, where the
crowd, including Wes
Anderson Margherita
Missoni, and L'Wren
Scott, gathered for a post-screening dinner.
For his part, André
Leon Talley finds Guinness to be fantastic, period. "Look at her!" the
editor said from his banquette perch.
"She is completely unique and utterly
fabulous. [It] doesn't get more modern than this one."
