“I can never plan an outfit. I just don’t know until I’m going out the door. I get it wrong about 60% of the time. But it’s OK to make mistakes.

I don’t do event dressing, because every day is an event.

I don’t follow fashion, and I don’t read fashion magazines.

I love anything that sparkles — I’m like a magpie!

My default look is a white shirt, a black jacket, black shiny leggings — and my shoes.

I like structure … with a bit of chaos.”

*

The above excerpt comes from Daphne Guinness by Valerie Steele. I don’t usually care much for books on fashion icons, but this one is full of quirky and fascinating tidbits. Highly recommended.

    She's the only person on this planet that can pull off leggings as pants.
