"I depend upon Givenchy as American women depend upon
their psychiatrist."
– Audrey Hepburn
Star of the sixties century were delicate, vegetative
and often childish. The actress Audrey Hepburn reflected for example that
type.
She took the world by storm in the film Roman Holiday (1953) critics and
audiences alike were wowed by her portrayal of Princess Ann, the royal
who escapes the constrictions of her title for a short time. She won the
Academy Award for Best Actress for this performance.
She made another award worthy performance in Sabrina (1954)
as the title character, the daughter of a wealthy family's driver. Hepburn
earned her an Academy Award nomination for her work on this bittersweet
romantic comedy.
In the musical Funny Face (1957) Hepburn was
undergoing another transformation. She played a beatnik bookstore clerk
who gets discovered by a fashion photographer and in that film, Hepburn clothes
were designed by Hubert de Givenchy.
For the first fashion show girls were
equally famous as actresses. Twiggy was symbolic of this decade
with super slim body and childish look.
Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), Hepburn set new fashion
standards as Holly Golightly. She played a lighthearted but ultimately troubled
New York city party girl and received again Academy Award nomination for
her work on the film.
The actress Audrey Hepburn remains one of Hollywood's
greatest style icons and one of the world's most successful.
