DAPHNE GUINNESS may be known today for her daring outfits and catwalk appearances (the heiress has modelled for Tom Ford and Giles to name but a few), yet she wasn't always so concerned with appearances.
"When I was a child, I was overly serious and thoughtful - a real tomboy, always dressing up as a knight or a pirate or a red Indian," she tells the New York Times. "If there is anything you can say about me, it's that I have not lost the imagination I had when I was five-years-old."
Describing her style as "an ever-evolving art project," she says she hates being labelled an "eccentric".
"I truly hate the word," Guinness says. "I'm actually very grounded. Also, eccentrics are almost asexual, and that is not something you can say of me, by any means."
