The exhibition will be accompanied by a book titled Daphne Guinness, written by Steele and Guinness, and published by Yale University Press. All royalties from sales of the book will benefit the Fashion Institute of Technology.
The museum’s annual fashion symposium will take place on November 3-4, 2011 in conjunction with the exhibition. The topic of the symposium will be Fashion Icons and Insiders.
