Daphne Diana Joan Susanna Guinness (born 9 November 1967) is an English fashion designer, socialite, actress, film producer, and musician.

Mitford divorced Guinness and married the leader of the British Union of Fascists, Sir Oswald Mosley, 6th Baronet of Ancoats.

[6] Christian Allaire of Vogue referred to her as a "street style icon, producer, musician, and muse of Alexander McQueen and Karl Lagerfeld".

[23][24] She designed Contra Mundum, an 18-carat white gold glove encrusted with diamonds, with British jeweler Shaun Leane and Alexander McQueen.

[35] She curated an exhibition at the Fashion Institute of Technology in 2011 that featured more than 100 contemporary pieces by various designers, including Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Valentino, and others, all from her personal couture collection.

David Bowie encouraged Guinness to pursue music, introducing her to Tony Visconti,[41] who had produced three of her albums as of August 2020.

[25] After the deaths of her brother Jasper, mentor David Bowie, and friends Isabella Blow and Alexander McQueen,[42] Guinness went to a studio in Ireland, intending to record a cover of the Bob Dylan song "Desolation Row".

[44] [45] The album was described by Kim Taylor Bennett of Vice magazine as "drama-pop with a gothic tinge"[46] and by Matthew Schneier of The New York Times as having "a glam-rock-ish, slightly psychedelic flavor".

[49] Will Hodgkinson of The Times described the album as "aristocratic glam fuelled by wit, character and a clear and abiding love of rock'n'roll".

It was mixed by Ricky Damian, known for his work with Lady Gaga, Adele, Georgia Smith, Dua Lipa.

Guinness also released music video versions for two songs that were on the 2018 Daphne & the Golden Chord album – "Talking to Yourself"[56] and "Remember to Breathe".

Guinness collaborated with Nick Knight again in 2023 on the video for "Hip Neck Spine", the first single to be taken from her fourth album "Sleep".

Guinness has walked in two of Naomi Campbell's Fashion for Relief shows to raise funds for disaster victims.

[59] In April 2008, she auctioned off part of her wardrobe, with the proceeds going to a British charity called Womankind Worldwide, which deals with issues such as domestic violence.

[62] The official show, entitled "Isabella Blow: Fashion Galore," was displayed in November 2013 at Somerset House in London.
