Just finished reading Sam Wasson's
Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.: Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's and the Dawn of the Modern Woman. A great summertime read!
Reminded all over again why we love Audrey Hepburn. Class, beauty, and niceness rolled into one infamous little black dress.
(Interesting Fact: According to Wasson, the artist was instructed to add the cat to the iconic movie poster for "Breakfast at Tiffany's" to remind conservative audiences that Audrey Hepburn's Holly Golightly was a 'kook' and distract them from the whole inconvenient and unseemly call-girl aspect of the controversial character...)
Who doesn't love Audrey Hepburn and Givenchy for giving us this classic LBD? As Hepburn herself said, "My look is attainable. Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying the large sunglasses, and the little sleeveless dresses." Maybe these oversized square sunglasses from Emilio Pucci would do the trick?
Borrow Audrey style this summer with a bateau necklines, slim trousers, flats, sleeveless tops, wide-brimmed hats and, of course, your natural charm. Tres jolie, mon amis!
Mille tendresse!
