Versus Fall 2012

The Hepburn Project

She was Hubert de Givenchy's soul mate since the day they have met on the set of Sabrina when he was making the  costumes. They became inseparable

She is the epitomy of ladylike behaviour.

Audrey is a particular woman. She is unlike any other in the 50s. She is not  as generous, she is tin and long, flat chested and admired later on, her hair is dark dark brown, her hair is long, her skin is white, what might now find basic is not up in the air.

Preference is given to woman like Claudia Cardinale, Jane Mansfield, Marylin Monroe, not this stick skinny, too thiny as they described her back then.

Look at this elegance

In Givenchy

Therefore, Hubert naturally dedicated his second perfume to his muse. It was named L'Interdit and it was launched in 1958.

This is my favorite photo

Relationship between Hubert and Audrey symbolized their mutual affection for eternity.

It was a deep love in not so classical way. It was a link between man and woman, stronger than friendship.

Transcending the physical. In the world still marked by its Christian roots, it is clear that this relationship is not understood by ordinary humans.

That world is forbidden, as is a set of mischievous spirit that continues to challenge me even now.

Auction in London of more than 30 Audrey's things

Including a Yves Saint Laurent empire-waisted gown, a Valentino Haute Couture dress, and a black lace Givenchy dress Hepburn wore in the film How to Steal a Million.

It has been reported that Victoria Beckham received an early catalog of the vintage collection. Beckham is a clear fan of Hepburn's refined aesthetic, as many of her pieces feature the same streamlined silhouettes favored by the late actress.

The most romantic piece to be sold may well be the ivory wedding gown made for Hepburn to her marriage to James Hanson.

I can totally imagine myself wearing this
