Breakfast at Tiffany's
William Banks-Blaney explores how Audrey Hepburn became a worldwide style icon thanks to her partnership with Hubert de Givenchy.
When Audrey Hepburn burst on to cinema screens in the 1950s, her delicate, elfin beauty was in stark contrast to the reigning bombshells of the era such as Marilyn Monroe and Diana Dors. And by the time Breakfast at Tiffany's was released in 1961, she was recognised globally as the personification of style. William Banks-Blaney reveals how Hepburn went against the Hollywood grain to form a partnership with one of the greatest couturiers in the world, Hubert de Givenchy. How did Breakfast at Tiffany's usher in a new era in cinema? And just why did the world go so crazy for its iconic black dress?
