The most iconic looks of Audrey Hepburn From "Breakfast at Tiffany's" little black dress to the Givenchy evening dress in "Sabrina"
Audrey Hepburn is without doubt one of the most beloved fashion icons of all time. Now a new docufilm, simply titled Audrey, gives us a new insight into the troubled life of the actress. Director Helena Coan has chosen to begin this journey into the star's past from her passion for ballet. Along with interviews and rare archival material, Cohan brings three dancers to the stage who play Audrey in as many different moments of her life: the etoile of the Royal Ballet, Francesca Hayward, in the role of the actress of Hollywood's golden age; Alessandra Ferri, who will give body and face to her adulthood; Keira Moore, who will play the role of the young Hepburn, when she was about to become a dancer. Although ballet is definitely the focus of the movie, the project highlights the relationship between the woman who made Holly Golightly immortal and fashion. Givenchy's former creative director, Clare Waight Keller, recalls Hepburn's role as Hubert de Givenchy's muse, while John Loring of Tiffany & Co describes recalls the loan of her 128.54-carat yellow Tiffany diamond. There are, of course, also private episodes, told by the diva's son, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, such as the difficulties faced during childhood under Nazi occupation in Holland and severe malnutrition.
While we wait to see Audrey, which will be available on DVD and digital download from November 30, we retrace some of the essentials that made Audrey Hepburn's style immortal.
Givenchy
Audrey often wore flats, loafers or ballet flats, partly because she liked them, partly because of a legacy of her dance studies, but also because she was no longer at her set partners. Her favorite pair was Salvatore Ferragamo's, who in 1954 created for her a model with a rounded toe, suede and almost flat, to distract attention from the foot, which was considered too long.
