The Daphne Guinness and Isabella Blow collections. Barney's celebrates the collections that will be showcased at FIT. Some the pics are blurry from the reflection of the black wall. From the vinyl description on window one: Daphne, a British artist and member of the Guinness family, is renowned for her experimental and eclectic sartorially taste. Her fascination with style has resulted in a clothing collection - from couture gowns to unknown designer pieces - that is exceptional due to it's range and depth, along with the rarity of some of her selections. Guinness's collection will be featured in an exhibit at the Fashion Institute of Technology dedicated to define and illustrate her personal style. From window two: Isabella Blow was a fashion icon, editor and designer's muse, whose style epitomized English eccentricity. Blow discovered and was instrumental in neutering the careers of both Alexander McQueen and Phillip Treacy. Her museum-worthy clothing collection was purchased in its entirety after her death by her close friend Daphne Guinness to ensure that it would remain intact rather being sold at auction. The exhibit features selections from McQueen, Phillip Treacy hats, Yoshiki Hishinuma and many others. An incredible part of history.
