Preparations for the annual gala of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, held in May, are in full swing, New York Post’s “Page Six,” has just announced that Daphne Guinness is one of the leading figures of the gala this year. She was invited to participate in a installation that will happen for six weeks in the charming storefront of Barneys on Madison Avenue.
* According to the column, at that time Daphne will get dressed live for all to see, wearing clothes from the store and of course, as well as pieces from her own wardrobe – including the ones the heiress bought at the auction of her friend Isabella Blow. Called "Fashion as Art", the installation will be launched on May 2, concurrently with the exhibition "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty."
