This is the Praxis III final Project of a Senior History of Major Major, at Bryn Mawr College, and 2011-2012 Art Business intern.
My academic self-study was focused on investigating the concept of collecting as a triple threat in the contemporary art market. Those whom buy, sell and display art for personal and public consumption and material wealth gain.
The Daphne Guinness Collection is being auctioned off at Christie’s to raise money for the Isabella Blow foundation.
A unique, haute couture gown, made specifically for Daphne Guinness
A Sculptural Metallic Silver Mini Dress
Alexander Mcqueen, 2008This design was first viewed by Daphne in Alexander McQueen’s collection in 2008. After seeing it, Daphne asked Lee to create four dresses in this style, in different materials (one black, one black long sleeved, one feathered, and one silver). McQueen didn’t make the dress for his shop, it was a show piece. A favourite dress of Daphne’s, she has worn it to several high profile occasions and has been photographed with the likes of Mario Testino and David Furnish whilst wearing it.
