Fill Your Glass With Extreme Fashion

Daphne Guinness: The Lady Gaga of High End Fashion

If forced to describe the fashion of Lady Gaga with two ideas I would have to settle on extreme 80's and martian- like leather structures. Though a pop diva and a not quite known as a fashion 'icon' Lady Gaga's style is hitting the pages of publications due to it's distinguishable, outlandish nature. Similarly known for her incredibly unique and eclectic style, yet internationally recognized as an icon, Daphne Guinness is the epitome of a risk taking style diva!

Fashion stylist, film producer and an heiresses to the infamous Guinness brewing family, Daphne Guinness is always dressed to impress and sporting the finest threads known to the fashion world. Appreciated for her extreme originality yet elegant looks, Daphne takes constant risks mixing textures, hues and trends from different eras resulting in brilliant ensembles.

Famously spotted at the last fall's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, Daphne wore a silver hardened silk dress structured in a lampshade-esque form. The dress closely resembled the armor of the Wizard of Oz's Tin Man! Accesorized with metal cuff bracelets and black streaks in her silver hair, Ms. Guinness was in a world of her own at the series of events.

Peering at this particular image , as well as hundreds more on fashion blogs and online, a single thought consistenly comes to mind- an urge and reason to break my boundaries and dabble in the world of over-the-top fashion! Why not freshen up every so often and step out of the box that confines so many of us from going over the top in styling? I highly recommend observing Daphne Guinness' looks to get a taste of extreme fashion that continues to remain elegant and maybe, just maybe, an interest will be sparked allowing for experimentation!
