Daphne Guinness Quotes

My fashion philosophy is that if I like it, I wear it.

Just be yourself and forget all of the stuff you read in 'GQ' magazine.

Your look shouldn't be contrived.

To me, 'beauty' means to be natural, creative, honest - to say the truth.

I am not the sort of person to carry beautiful flowers and be an ornament to everyone.

My image is dark and sombre. It fits my personality. The problem I always had with the people in the Misfits was that it was a put-on. You wouldn't see those guys walking around like that.

Truth looks tawdry when she is overdressed.

At the outset, I think that one should be natural, not just when it comes to writing but in every area of life. If you try to be something that you are not just to impress others, then it's a rather sad life.

I never kept up with the fashions. I believed in wearing what I thought looked good on me.

A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the facade of his appearance.

If my clothing does stand out, then I guess it's a compliment, but I just wear whatever feels comfortable.

I look pretty nondescript. I don't go out of my way to... I don't express my personality with my clothes, with my car or my, you know, house. I express with my personality; so as far as what I wear - I don't really care about that.

My clothes don't make one a different person, just more of oneself.

Justice Rehnquist was friendly and unpretentious. He wore scuffed Hush Puppy shoes. That was my first lesson. Clothes do not make the man. The Justice sported long sideburns and Buddy Holly glasses long after they were fashionable. And he wore loud ties that I am confident were never fashionable.

Flashy people aren't everything, you know. Even when they have frizzled hair.
