Photographs of timeless fashion icon Audrey Hepburn donning her
signature accessory: the hat
Audrey Hepburn's status as a global style icon owes as much to her
endless assortment of fabulous headwear as it does to her body of film
work. Hepburn and her hats were a match made in heaven and for decades
she not only graced the silver screen but the cover of every glossy
magazine throughout the world, rarely captured without her signature
accessory. Hepburn starred in many great films including Roman
Holiday, Sabrina, Funny Face, Breakfast at Tiffany's, My Fair
Lady and, of course, Charade, the movie that started the craze for
her famous pillbox hat, much loved by Jackie Kennedy. Hepburn will
always be remembered for her incredible hats, which have become part of
our cultural heritage and movie folklore. From Givenchy, Mr. John and
Dior to Cecil Beaton and Balenciaga, Hepburn inspired loyalty, set
trends and cemented reputations. This exquisite volume includes an
entire section dedicated to My Fair Lady and the fabulous Academy
Award-winning costumes and sculpted hats designed by Cecil Beaton. It
features stunning photographs of Audrey Hepburn taken by leading
photographers including Dennis Stock, Howell Conant, Terry O'Neill, Bud
Fraker and Bob Willoughby, and accompanying text from fashion writer
June Marsh.
