"Mishima" by Daphne Guinness

Nice new little ditty by heiress to the Guinness fortune, philanthropist, actor, film producer, and fashion icon Daphne Guinness. "Mishima" is from her forthcoming album "Sleep," out in early 2024.


And Andy Butler of Hercules and Love Affair (previously here) has remixed the song and added a little bit of bottom from the club and a little bit of electronic bee-boop perkiness.

Fragrances by Comme des Garçons

The brilliant Brothers Quay have created a short film for Comme des Garçons' June 2010 launch of a new fragrance called Wonderwood. It is classic Brothers Quay, featuring stop motion animation and nature imagery, but mixed with a new, wavy, fun-house-mirror optical style that is reminiscent of some of the iamamiwhoami videos.

And after discovering Wonderwood, I came across this gorgeous promotional video titled "Mnemosyne" for a scent called Daphne, a 2009 collaboration between heiress, artist and fashion icon Daphne Guinness and Comme des Garçons. Co-directed with David Parker, Guinness says that the film is not strictly promotional but a stand alone art piece merely inspired by the fragrance since it does not show any graphics or logos and does not mention the perfume.
