The Haute Issue Fall/Winter 2021 | Page 149

You specialize in the work of Hubert de Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn . Why have you selected these two greats to center your attention on ?
I remember the first time I watched a film with Audrey Hepburn wearing Givenchy .
I was primarily captivated by her and her screen presence : I thought she was unlike anything I had seen before . And then I saw the stunning clothes , which to this day are the most beautiful I have ever seen . When I discovered that they were designed by Givenchy and that both him and Hepburn had shared a genuine collaborative friendship I became so fascinated with the two and the impact they have had on both the worlds of fashion and film . They have not only changed the way I view clothes , but they have also shaped various aspects of fashion which we can still recognise today .
