As we count down to Valentines Day 2010 lets look back at some of our favorite old time romantic films! Starting with the classic Breakfast at Tiffany's!
Audrey Hepburn shines in a role she was never intended to play. The movie was based off of a novel by Truman Capote who pictured Marylin Monroe in the role of Holly Golightly. Instead the studio chose Audrey to portray the New York party girl on the town. George Peppard plays our romantic hero who just happens to move in upstairs in Holly's building. Of course they fall in love but it takes time and a break in Holly's pride before she lets Paul sweep her off her feet.
The most fabulous thing about the movie is of course the fashion! Audrey Hepburns costumes throughout the film retain the style and grace of the late 1950's and early 1960's.
The most notable costume of course is the black Givenchy column dress from the opening scene at Tiffany's, but throughout the film all of Audrey's costumes radiate chic style. The dress shapes are simple and uncomplicated and serve only to accent the woman inside them. Bellow I have added a few dresses availible at audrey*k which help you capture the same style and grace.
