“Rest In Peace (And Jewels). . . “

I read the head-line & felt my stomach drop like a hackneyed phrase.

The style icon ” laid to rest ” by jeweler Shaun Leane

Tom Ford — but you already knew this, Y/Y?

Quick as a click-through, I arrived at Samantha Conti‘s
article ” Daphne Guinness’ Golden Glove” — from which I gleaned details of
the debut event for Contra Mundum, Guinness’ collaboration with Shaun Leane.

detailed view : 18 carat white gold [ yes, " steampunk " : I'm looking at you ]

Having lost two friends last month, it seemed a bit cruel, the cliff-hanger. . .
but brilliant.

[ Cue taken, duly noted : & thank you ]

Upon noting Conti’s coverage is dated July 1st—translation : in ‘internet time,’ rigor mortis
has already set—my next thought was “Shit! I bet they’ve already covered this at Haute Macabre.”

Which, incidentally, wouldn’t be a [ optional usage : scare quotes ] bad thing
but I shouldn’t have to explain this

Surprisingly, they haven’t.

What comes as no surprise : the power of zeitgeist, synchronicity. . .
& good taste.

Nixon‘s been on a “Guinness ‘tear‘” this week, &—incidentally—posted a shot of Daphne in a coffin.

Who’s Free Of Flaw? Seriously : Look. Upon. This.
