My favourite movie is Breakfast at Tiffany’s, I love her Holly Golightly character, the famous breakfast at Tiffany’s scene/images, the party in her apartment & Cat.Audrey was one of the most admired and emulated women of the twentieth century, who encouraged women to discover and highlight their own strength.

Audrey & Hubert de Givenchy life long friendship began in his Paris studio in 1953 when choosing clothes for Sabrina.
Audrey had a big personality. In her choice of her dresses, in wearing them with such elegance, chic, and simplicity. In a very personal way, she created her own look-
” The Hepburn Style.” How proud and happy I am to have been able to work with and embellish my dear Audrey. She was unique and always will be so. ”
