I love Daphne Guinness, me. Bonkers couture-wearing style maven, she's just added another string to her high-fash bow by fronting the autumn campaign for makeup artist and cosmetic wrangler Francois Nars. Available from August will be a new purple shadow created specially for her and eponymously named for €24, as well as Rouge Basque lipstick and Strawberry Fields gloss, both of which'll be limited.
Gorgeous shot, I am sure you'll agree, but neither she, nor the makeup, is the real story here.
Nope, check out what Daphne's wearing: it's one of Irish leather-worker Una Burke's creations. She's had her work featured in Vogue Italia, Lady GaGa's snapped up a piece or two and while Una lives and works in London, she's being feted at home, winning the Crafts Council of Ireland's Future Maker award this year. I was at the event and got to have a chat with her as well as a gander at one of her amazingly detailed, precise and technical leather pieces, and I was wildly impressed.

Oh - and the slap doesn't look half bad either, Francois.
