Fashion mafia at Daphne Guinness's perfume party

The fashion mafia and the Guinness mob, from model Jasmine to handbag designer Lulu, were on hand at Dover Street Market for a party to launch Daphne Guinness's (below right) eponymous new perfume, which she has designed for fashion label Comme des Garcons.

Daphne has also made a short film about the scent called Mnemosyne — who was the Greek goddess of memory — apt says Daphne because it matches her own classical name.

She says, "Perfume is all about memory. I made a film about the perfume because you can't describe a scent in words." With friends from the supremely leggy l'Wren Scott, (above left) with Daphne.

Other guests included Nicky Haslam, Bella Freud, Jefferson Hack and Anouck Lepere. Guinness added: "I have literally just come out of the studio!"
