Audrey is Magical!

 

Audrey Hepburn is one of the most memorable actresses of our time!  She's beautiful, elegant, graceful and has a style all of her own.

A classic beauty with a talent to match.  She is one of our times most memorable actresses.  With very memorable movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany's my favorite movie of all time.

Audrey Hepburn was one of those rare gems with her own unique style and had a beautiful grace about her.  She lives on today in our movie collections and prints on our walls.

Audrey Hepburn ~ Little Black Dress ~ Did You Know? 

The "little black dress" from Breakfast at Tiffany's, designed by Givenchy, sold at a Christie's auction on December 5, 2006, for £467,200 (approximately $920,000), almost seven times its £70,000 pre-sale estimate. This is the highest price paid for a dress from a film. The proceeds went to the City of Joy Aid charity to aid underprivileged children in India. The head of the charity said, "there are tears in my eyes. I am absolutely dumbfounded to believe that a piece of cloth which belonged to such a magical actress will now enable me to buy bricks and cement to put the most destitute children in the world into schools." The dress auctioned off by Christie's was not the one that Hepburn actually wore in the movie. Of the two dresses that Hepburn did wear, one is held in the Givenchy archives, while the other is displayed in the Museum of Costume in Madrid.

Audrey Hepburn by Hubert de Givenchy 

I've had two great privileges in my life. To have known and been the friend of two people of outstanding talent: Cristobal Balenciaga and Audrey Hepburn. Each of them gave me something exceptional that l carry with me today. Thinking of Audrey I remember the extraordinary bond that existed between us. She was capable of enhancing alI my creations. And often ideas would come to me when I had her on my mind. She always knew what she wanted and what she was aiming for. It was like that from the very start.

I was busy working on my new collection the first time she turned up unexpectedly at my Paris atelier.

On being told that Miss Hepburn had arrived I immediately presumed it was Katherine Hepburn, whom I adored. Hurrying to greet her, I found myself confronted with a young woman dressed as a gondolier. I was totally astonished. I was even more astonished, however, when she asked me to create clothes for her next film, Sabrina. Unfortunately I was too busy to do so. But her charming manner had won me over and I suggested she choose some garments from my collection. Audrey confessed she had fallen in love with my clothes when she was in France shooting Monte Carlo Baby (Nous irons à Monte Carlo), but at the time had been unable to make any purchases. Now Billy Wilder was giving her the chance to supplement Edith Head's costumes with real clothes. And she wanted to use exclusively mine.

After Sabrina, Audrey requested my clothes for all her films with a contemporary setting.
Which is how I came to design the outfits she wore in Funny Face, Love in the Afternoon, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Charade, Paris when it Sizzles and How to steal a Million.

One thing that struck me about her, apart from her charm and elegance, was her ability to make herself loved and admired by women as well as men. Her image was unique. This is something that other great actresses have been unable to create for themselves.

Audrey was a very precise person and a consummate professional. She was never late and she never threw tantrums. Unlike many of her illustrious colleagues, she did not behave like a spoilt star. She knew exactly how to shape her strong, independent image. This naturally extended to the way she dressed. And she always took the clothes created for her one step further by adding something of her own, some small personal detail which enhanced the whole. But it wasn't only elegance that she enhanced. She heightened the impact of the entire design.

For both of us creating things this way was a game that we loved. Our ideas sparked each other off. When l asked if I could use her face to publicize my perfume she agreed at once.At that time it was unusual for a celebrated actress to appear in an advertisement. But Audrey was perfect, also because she was the inspiration for the perfume, which I'd dedicated to her. I called it Interdit (For You Alone). The perfume and its bottle have remained unaltered to this day. Truly interdit to all change.

Today Audrey would have been 70. And to me it's as if she's still here. lt feels as though she's embarked on a long journey from which she will one day return. Because Audrey's a person of infinite interest, one can never tire of talking about her. What I do miss, however, are her phone calls which used to come out of the blue. Even during her last years, when she travelled extensively in her capacity as an ambassador of Unicef, I often received one of her surprise calls. Sometimes it was just to say, "Thank you, Hubert. I love you".

Audrey Hepburn ~ Funny Face 

This filmed version of the 1927 George Gershwin Broadway musical Funny Face utilizes the play's original star Fred Astaire and several of the original tunes then goes merrily off on its own. Astaire is cast as as fashion photographer Dick Avery (a character based on Richard Avedon the film's "visual consultant") who is sent out by his female boss Maggie Prescott (Kay Thompson) to find a "new face". It doesn't take Dick long to discover Jo (Audrey Hepburn who does her own singing) an owlish Greenwich Village bookstore clerk. Acting as Pygmalion to Jo's Galatea Dick whisks the wide-eyed girl off to Paris and transforms her into the fashion world's hottest model. Along the way he falls in love with Jo and works overtime to wean her away from such phony-baloney intellectuals as Professor Emile Flostre (Michel Auclair). The Gershwin tunes include the title song "S'wonderful" "How Long Has This Been Going On" and "He Loves and She Loves"; among the newer numbers is Kay Thompson's energetic opener "Think Pink". For years available only in washed-out flat prints Funny Face was eventually restored to its full Technicolor and VistaVision glory.

A trio of crooks relentlessly pursues a young American (Audrey Hepburn) through Paris for the fortune her dead husband stole from them. The only person she can trust is a suave, mysterious stranger (Cary Grant). A deliciously dark comedic thriller, Stanley Donen's Charade dazzles with style and macabre wit to spare.

Audrey Hepburn Eyes: Runway Makeup Artist, Deborah Altizio, Gives You Tips On Going Glam 1950's Style with Ardell Faux Lashes 

January 17 2004--"When it comes to 1950's glam, it's all about the eyes," explains Deborah. "Think pale foundation, pale lips (like peaches and soft melons) and striking eyes-lot's of thick black lashes on top with black liquid liner." To achieve this look using Ardell Lashes, she recommends the following:

1) Apply bone or white shadow all over the eye. Then, apply taupe shadow to lids.

2) Brows should be shaped (or penciled in) slightly heavier with squared tips.

3) Next, apply a medium to thick line of black liquid liner, slightly flipping it at the outer edge of the eye. (Tip: For a modern, evening look, try shimmery black liquid liner.)

4) Finish by applying Ardell Fashion Lashes 101 Demi Black strip lashes. (Tip: Apply the strip slightly below the lid, onto your lashes. This will give your lashes a seamless, natural finish.)

5) Or, for a dreamier look, apply 2-3 Ardell Duralash individual lash clusters (in Flare Long Black) along the outer end of each eye. (Tip: Nestle them between your own lashes. Then, blend them in with 1-2 coats of black mascara.)

Ardell lash products are available at drug and beauty supply stores nationwide including CVS, Duane Reade, Eckerd, Genovese, Longs, Osco, Sally's Beauty Supply, Rite Aid, SavOn and Walgreen's, among others.
