Audrey Hepburn

Fashion wise, i believe it's probably safe to say that "Breakfast at Tiffany's" was Audrey Hepburn's most memorable film. At least for me. The first time i saw it, and i have seen this movie a lot of times, i pressed pause on numerous occasions just to sigh.

True story folks. True story.

I mean, who could forget Givenchy's little back dress worn in the opening scene. Or the collection of fashionable hats, the delectable red peacoat, and of course the shades and cigarette holder. To be that beautiful and wear clothes so gracefully. Oh Audrey. all memorable.
But the Audrey Hepburn that caught my attention in that movie is the one that sat with one foot out the window in a simple grey sweatshirt paired with black cropped pants and flats busy strumming a guitar and singing
"Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way."

She even looked good with a towel tied around her head like a turban; now that's style.

And i think that's what this short documentary on Hepburn's style conveys: that a style icon is someone who looks good in simple things as much as they do decked out in elaborate designs. That an icon not only understands clothes and what works for them but who loves them with the same tenacity, not because the piece is in, but for the way a garment looks and feels and makes you feel.

i like the quote from her son who describes how she thought of herself more as the " perfect package of imperfections! and explains that's what made her so beautiful

"the definition of beauty is not knowing that you are so special"
and special Ms. Hepburn was.
Happy viewing.
warning might make you want to go play dress-up, sure had that effect on me!
