" For last night&amp;#039;s gala celebrating The Met&amp;#039;s unveiling of &amp;quot;Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty,&amp;quot; Daphne Guinness, a dear friend of the late designer, turned heads on the red carpeted stairs in a grand feathered confection she&amp;#039;s wore once before. For the March issue of BAZAAR, Derek Blasberg sat down with the artist for a frank interview on her untouchable personal style, &amp;quot;The Real Daphne Guiness,&amp;quot; and David Bailey captured her unnerving beauty in a fashion shoot that began with the said dress. &amp;quot;This McQueen dress showed up in David Bailey&amp;#039;s studio in a giant box, which we opened meticulously and slowly, careful not to ruffle any feathers, no pun intended. When it came out, Daphne swooned. She loved the dress immediately and couldn&amp;#039;t wait to put it on,&amp;quot; says Blasberg. &amp;quot;It was the first shot that we did with Bailey, and she adored it \u2014 apparently so much she couldn&amp;#039;t wait to put it on again!&amp;quot; You can watch Guinness prepare for the couture event during a performance in the windows of Barneys New York&amp;#039;s Madison Avenue store. The video marks the beginning of a six-week installation that will showcase Guinness&amp;#039; personal McQueen collection (many of which she purchased from the estate of Isabella Blow).
