Style Icon : Audrey Hepburn

Style Icon : Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn was skinny, with bushy eyebrows and close cropped bangs, yet she changed the definition of style and grace forever. Mary Quant called her the "most stylish woman who ever lived". Audrey's greatest weapon of all, and the reason behind her eternal fashion appeal was Hubert de Givenchy, the couturier with whom she collaborated on the costumes for almost all of her films. Together, Givenchy and Hepburn created a fashion/ film union that has yet to be matched. Breakfast At Tiffany's was the film that sealed her reputation as a fashion goddess. The image of her in Tiffany's with her beehive hairdo, white gloves and little black dress was and is one of the most stylish looks. Her appeal was that her style was universally accessible and even today looks modern. She never made the mistake of following trends, but remained loyal to the clothes that suited her the best. That is why she became bigger than fashion. Source : The Independent - London
