Assiut Spotted: Daphne Guinness

Did you catch the dress that the iconic vintage assiut gown Daphne Guinness wore to the British Fashion Awards?
On December 1, 2025, Daphne and designer Annie Doble wowed the fashion world with their appearance at the British Fashion Awards.

Designer Annie Doble, owner of the exclusive boutique “Annie’s of Ibiza,” has a passion for transforming vintage assiut into modern designs. On her boutique’s website, you can take a look at Annie’s latest offerings, along with an archive of past designs like these below.

This two-piece ensemble inspires me to make another bolero jacket.  I’m adding it to my 2026 project list.
