A Very Different Daphne

Another fabulous 'Makeover' / 'Make under' I spotted today was on socialite, heiress, fashion icon and (rumoured) neighbour Daphne Guinness.

There is no doubting Daphne has her own style but the Cruella De Ville skunk stripe just doesn't really do it for me and (I believe) makes her look older.

Then, this week, Swiss fashion label Akris unveiled its first handbag collection choosing the über muse as the face of the range.

Shot by photographer Stephen Klein (who has shot each Akris campaign since his first with British model Stella Tennant in 1990) the photographs show a very different Daphne - and I like it! What do you think?
