The new issue of V is going to be a good one. Karl Lagerfeld has lensed Amanda Harlech and Daphne Guinness and persuaded the pair to switch idendities and dress up as one another - including changing hair colours.

Shot in Lagerfeld's studio in Paris, Derek Blasberg noted that: “The typically bold Amanda, now posing as Daphne in front of Lagerfeld’s lens, appeared timid, her movements angular. The often-shy Daphne became bolder and more fluid.” Harlech said, “When I walked out on set with my blonde hairpieces, Karl burst out laughing and said I looked like a hausfrau. I won’t be doing it again, but secretly I did love the allure of Daphne’s blondeness. It was like playing the princess role instead of always being the witch.”
