“I was quite a tomboy; I was always falling out of trees. Perhaps this is how my fascination with armor began,” Guinness, who is famous for adorning her body with armor, tells Rabimov.

But it’s quite clear that the ultra-glam Daphne has outlived her “tomboy” phase.
“I love fetish, and the fantastic silhouettes,” she replied when asked if her relationship with clothes could be called a fetish. “I can imagine it could be seen like that. A fetish object is something that compels you, and people have fetishes for all sorts of things. It is a very human thing. It’s sort of an exploration of the human body.”
