Audrey Hepburn " The Icons "

Yesterday  May  4th   was   going   to  be  Audrey   Hepburn Birthday

Some could argue that Audrey Hepburn is the reason for fashion’s obsession with the The Little Black Dress . Her classic Holly Golightly look from Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of the most iconic ‘Old Hollywood’ photos out there. The simple Givenchy column gown , 3 strand pearl necklace , large  black  sunglasses, sleek updo,diamond earrings , and a  long  cigarette  holder  will forever be known as an Audrey Hepburn-inspired look!

When Hubert de Givenchy first met Audrey Hepburn in his Parisian atelier in 1953, he thought he was meeting another, at the time more famous, Hepburn – a certain Katharine. Nevertheless, the couturier was so fascinated by the  young actress’ quirky fashion sense – she wore a straw gondolier’s hat emblazoned with the word ‘Venezia’ – and a la garcon figure that he agreed to have her try on some samples from his Spring/Summer 1953 collection. Hepburn was on a mission to find the perfect wardrobe for Sabrina and had personally chosen Givenchy, who she thought to be “the newest, youngest, most exciting couturier”.
