High-rise heiress dices with disaster

BREWING heiress Daphne Guinness demonstrated her nerve yesterday at the Haute Couture show in Paris.

Clad in her favourite futuristic black, the 50- year-old fashion designer-musician- actress successfully negotiated some treacherous steps in her trademark Massaro heel-less shoes.

A rather more successful outing than when in London recently, she returned to Claridge’s after lunch at Cipriani, only to stumble and grab her lover, French philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy, for support, before she collapsed in a heap.
