COUTURE Queen Daphne Guinness doesn't dress for the fashion pack but for old age pensioners.
"I do it for the old people who laugh at me in airports," she told New York Magazine at an AIDS benefit held on photographer Steven Klein's estate in the Hamptons last weekend. "I like to walk in with my heels and stand in front of people on their laptops and then drop down and suddenly they look up and you're ten inches shorter - it gives everybody a good laugh. You can only dress like this if you get the humour of it."
The fashionable heiress, who recently criticised the state of modern dressing (READ THE STORY HERE), also admitted that wearing vertiginous heels comes at a price.
"I sliced open my foot two days ago and I was supposed to get a bandage, but I didn't, and I thought I'd be okay in these heels, because I can walk in any heels, but I'm not."
