( Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's)

Iconic Dresses

 

 

 

 

 

    I guess that you are now familiar with my " Audrey Hepburn Obsession", but have I ever mentioned that besides writing I have this strong passion for visual arts? I started drawing when I was 2 and continued doing that until present. You may predict that I usually draw clothing( recently my mother has found a sketchbook of mine full of fashion sketches from when I was 5-6 to 7-8), but I also enjoy painting, especially in summer, when everything is calm, peaceful and colorful. This is a sketch that I made last summer; it contains the very well known outfits from  Breakfast at Tiffany's ( the Givenchy dress especially), the beautiful white dress with black floral motifs from Sabrina, also designed by Hubert de Givenchy and the legendary ascot dress designed by Cecil Beaton for Miss Hepburn in My Fair Lady ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeiIE-Ft_b8 ) and the wedding dress from the same movie ( the last two dresses are unfinished yet). I hope you will like my sketch.

   See you soon,

   Love, A.

 

The Oscars in 1954. 2013 commercial

  
   These days are full of " Oscars". I cannot take it any longer unless I discuss a little on one of the best Academy Awards looks which belongs to Audrey Hepburn. Audrey received her statue for the Best Actress for " Roman Holiday" wearing the famous white floral dress, designed by Hubert de Givenchy.

  




















   Technology managed to bring Audrey back to present. This is a very cute commercial, it seems more like a tribute to the actress than a chocolate ad. I appreciate the fact that they have chosen this marvellous icon to interpret the feminine role, that character looks really close to Audrey, but no one will ever equal the one and only Miss Hepburn. Still...enjoy:
