Audrey Style Book

In 1953, When Audrey Hepburn burst onto the screen in Roman Holiday, she forever changed the international ideal of elegance, grace and beauty. Suddenly glamour and even sexiness seemed attainable for women everywhere; Audrey was uncommonly beautiful, but she was real--hers was a look anyone could aim for, but few could pull off as effortlessly or effectively. By mixing a few classic elements of "Audrey style"--the little black dress, ballet flats with slim capri pants, bold hats and sunglasses--suburban housewives became more Hollyood than Hoboken in an instant. Here author Pamela Clarke Keogh introduces us to the woman behind the clothes, using words from friends, fellow actors and designers who dressed her to paint a picture of a truly remarkable woman. A humanitarian, artist, friend and above all, survivor, Audrey inspired women and men alike to approach life with spirit, grace and simplicity. The nearly 100 colour and black-and- white photographs, paired with original sketches from such fashion luminaries as Givenchy, Manolo Blahnik and Vera Wang, show that Audrey was much more than a beautiful, well-dressed personality; her courage and individuality come shining through in every page. --Leah Ball, Amazon.comRead More
