After winning an Oscar in 1953 for Roman Holiday, Audrey Hepburn became one of the most photographed actresses of all time. Hepburn is often referred to by the fashion media as the most important ‘style icon’ of the 20th century. The style of dress featured by Hepburn in her films strongly influenced the fashion of the period as her clothes and accessories were widely copied.
And that little black dress? This essential to everyone’s wardrobe began with Audrey wearing it in Breakfast At Tiffany’s. She is a pillar of today’s fashion, but she did it in a non-flashy way and didn’t even try to draw attention to herself. The outfits just looked natural and effortless on her that people were desperate to be like her.
Coco Chanel started the trend for pearls, but Audrey mainstreamed them years later. Pearls are an indispensable accessory and are a timeless piece that never has never faded. Fashions of the past are coming back into fashion, but her two staple pieces, little black dresses and pearls, have remained in fashion all these years. A little black dress and pearls have always been named the pinnacle of elegance.
Audrey Hepburn: a woman, the style contained 110 examples of Hepburn’s clothing dating from the early 1950s to the late 1980s from both her on and off screen wardrobes. The exhibition documented not only her screen presence but her influential personal style.
So, if you are still wondering who is this beautiful lady, I personally suggest you to read Truman Capote's book " Breakfast at Tiffany's" and the to watch the original movie with Audrey.
