Audrey Hepburn: Givenchy's Graceful Muse

RIP
Hubert de Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn - a match made in heaven. Similar ages, the French couturier and Iconic screen star immediately empathised with each other - an intimate relationship that continued into old age.
Givenchy intuitively understood Audrey's petite frame - the perfect foil it would seem for the sophisticated and ladylike look of the late 1950s and early 1960s - tiny waist, full skirt - often with underlay and a simply cut bodice, often collarless to show Audrey's swanlike neck.
In turn, Audrey's iconic movies served as the perfect environment for the ultimate catwalk - raising Givenchy's profile. And perhaps due to the timeless design of both the couture and the movies both are still much admired decades later.
Givenchy and Hepburn - classic, refined, urbane style.
The background music is Goofin' at the Coffee House by Henry Mancini and the movie images are from Sabrina (1954), Funny Face (1957), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), Charade (1963) and Paris When it Sizzles (1964).
The Three Graces - Elegance, Beauty and Style.

Although her personal life was never smooth, Audrey was, and still is, one of the most beautiful women to ever grace this planet. She would have been 91 today.
Doesn't she remind you of a doe? Gorgeous, sweeping large eyes, slender, long swan neck, so graceful. Beautiful beyond compare. Kind, generous. Sublime actress. I so miss her.

@@allysonestes - Nope. Fifty years from now, no one will remember her name. There are people today who don't even know who she is. Audrey Hepburn is a unique classic. She'll always be remembered...Holly Golightly, Sabrina, Princess Anne in Roman Holiday. Saoirse will never be called iconic. No comparison.
I like how the modeling pics from the old days had more emotion and spontaneity than the ones we have now. Audrey was really passionate and happy about her job and you can actually see it in the way she holds herself as she works ahah.
How elegant Audrey was,no one will ever match her!
absolutely the most beloved woman of all time.
Back when you model and act and still keep your dignity. Thank you for this video. RIP Givenchy
What a wonderful comment section. Proof that Audrey spreads happiness long after her departure. May God bless this heavenly soul for bringing joy and happiness into everyone's lives.

Agreed. Mancini and only Mancini does her legacy justice. It's hard to believe she's been gone for well over 27 years.
One of a kind. One of my favorite actresses. One classy and beautiful muse.
Audrey Hepburn was one of a kind! Generous soul, iconic style & legendary beauty!
She's incredibly and amazingly beautiful! Effortlessly fashionable and stylish! Minimalism at its finest and a supreme icon.

I managed to snag many a classic in my day. Enjoy the Movie!! 😎🎥🍿💎👗👒👰🛵
These clothes couldn't have been worn and done justice by anyone other than Audrey. She was an absolute fashion icon. The only one that could possibly be near her league, was Princess Diana. Fashion has taken many turns over the last 50 years. And not for the better unfortunately.

Love you Audrey. Rest in peace sweetheart.
Givenchy is greatly responsible for the magnificent image Audrey created 🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful and a great actress. I have never read anything negative about her, she wasn't a prima donna, in fact was supposed to be an amazing person. My favorite role of hers was in "The Childrens Hour", she was beautiful, but not glamorous and made the pain her character was feeling all to real.

Barry - The Great Emma Thompson (from Harry Potter fame - no not the head mistress, the expertly acted hippy psychic) said Audrey was a very bad actress and was "twee" Before I heard Emma I mistakenly thought Audrey was the single greatest actress ever, but evidently I was wrong. I didn't realize acting sweet, sexy, smart and classy to a point where almost an entire planet loves you is real easy to do - now I know acting bitchy and mean like actresses such as Emma and Meryl Streep is where one really shows their acting chops

@@photoartteacher903 Woowoo, sorry that the 20th century Hollywood landscape prevented actresses from expanding their acting chops beyond a category they're supposed to niche-fill, save perhaps a few rebels like another Hollywood favorite Bette Davis. I'm sure if Audrey was permitted to star in some wicked role she could have done so well in it, but like I said, she filled a spot on the Hollywood machine at that time-that of the sweet doe-eyed pretty girl. The publicists wouldn't dare tarnish a perfect money-making scheme, and perhaps, those roles might have been closest to Audrey's real life personality, otherwise she could have sucked at them. Meryl Streep on the other hand, although someone we also love, has sort of soiled her reputation post?Weinstein. Her knowledge of his actions put her in a questionable reputation in retrospect. But we try to ignore that, since she's an acting legend herself. Thank God she can do accents. Emma Thompson, i never liked her except in that Jane Austen movie and maybe Nanny McPhee part one. She seems very forceful of her acting in her other roles.

I was being sarcastic on a scale of 1-10 I rate Audrey a 50 Just like the world hated the idea of Cary Grant as the bad guy - same for Audrey, I was never a fan of mean girl actresses I believe acting self centered and mean isn't hard I have seen hundreds of teens pull it off amazingly in everyday life. For me on a 1-10 Betty Davis = 7; Emma Thompson =6; Streep =6; Grace Kelly =10; Barb Stanwyck = 10' Eve Marie Saint = 10; Ann Hathaway = 10; Julie Andrews = 10
even if you see her for the first time, you can already tell she's a cultural movie icon.
She’s always been someone I looked up to and admired since I was 7 yrs old 🦋
The movie Funny Face was really the perfect platform to showcase Givenchy's creations with all the photoshoot scenes.

Iconic duo
When I was lived in Geneva sadly my favourite actriz pass away, I think it was in 1993 but I am not sure so I went to the Cathedral of Nôtre Dame to listen a service and pray for her soul, then 3 years later I came to Scotland with my second husband Steven. The following year I was pregnate with my only child. I was in town buying some little things for her room and I bought a Hello magazine and when I came home I had a look at it and in the middle of the pages was Audrey Hepburn, her picture of breakfast at Tifany so was a wee suprise but then I forgot. Another day I was going to make the ironing and I switch it on the TV, I just took a random channel, and then the film My Fair Lady was going to star and it was a Sunday at 3pm and once again I was suprise but this time I thought: this little girl I have will be called Audrey in memory of my favourite actriz. And then she was born by a cesarean delivery as the umbilical cord was on her neck. I knew something was going to happened and I pray before leaving the house. I wake up from the operation at 4am and my husband Steve told me she is there. She was tiny and I call her Audrey Britannia Antoinette. My only child.
Ah. You find her ss gorgeous as I ... .. She was one of a kind. Woman of perfection in all ways. 💞💗💖💜
Desafortunadamente ya no existen actrices con esa gracia y personalidad, eso era estilo y distinción 👏🏻🌷
So elegant, and unbelievably thin. No curves, not even a hint of adult female sexuality. Still, she is irresistible as the wide-eyed innocent,needing protection.

During WWII, she almost starved to death in Arnhem, The Netherlands. Since that happened when she was a child, she was forever physically affected by the early malnourishment. Which is why she dedicated a lot of charity and time to trying to solve hunger crises, especially in war torn areas. She was an amazing humanitarian, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Hepburn#Humanitarian_career

One of my all time favorite pictures was two for the. Road,She was beautyful and talented!! RI P!!
Simply gorgeous fabulous she was pure pure class
Omgg how can anyone dislike this?!?!?!? Pssht obviously people with no eyes, no hearts and grace!!!
An amazingly beautiful and intelligent woman. All class, she stands out from the rest. If they ever film her life story, Caitriona Balfe would be absolutely perfect! The only one difference, Caitriona’s got a bit more curves. It would be a winner. A huge fan base for Miss Hepburn and a huge fan base for Caitriona.
