Audrey is always an inspiration e I regularly w'ateh 50s and ()(IS Iilms when I'm designing. In an era of huxom hIondes. Audrey didn't exaetly lit it. She wasn‘t conventionally ‘heautil‘ul‘. And yet she's the delinition of style. She had that rare " ability to bring playl'ul yiyaeity to exquisite elothing.
My lay'ourite outlit is from Roman Holiday - a ': white hlouse. l‘ull skirt and flat shoes. Iler waist ' is the tiniest ever. but with the broad helt she ._ looks stunning. l‘rom Roman Holiday's tomhoy ehie to the eheeky sophistieation oI' 'IUfiury"s. Audrey is an inspiration to all of us who run tip i the oeeasional lroek.

THE REASONS
Audrey llephurn makes me smile. She makes rue wish I was alive in the day when being l'ahulotrs was fabulous: not ‘trying too hard‘ or ‘oy'er the top’. I live in New York. the plaee that Audrey. in 'Ii/‘liurr's. made look like a sale hay'en from normal or average; a refuge for people who wanted to stay young. savvy and heautil‘ul l'oreyer. I think that idea remains here in people's minds. but not so mueh with how they dress —* are they too hip to care" Audrey. you could say. was a hipster ol' the times in 71(70):wa wrapped up perl'eetly in her sal‘ety bubble of 'seene’ and ‘eool‘. When I go hear the New York l’hil I get hlue seeing people. who have the perl‘eet opportunity to look l‘ahulous. opt for jeans instead. Ilaye they no desire to deeorate themselyes'.’ I do — any ehanee to tap into my inner l'ahulous is a little gilt. I say.
