Sabrina (1954)







This film is dear to my heart, in high school I was the costumer designer for our production of Sabrina Fair which is the play that this film is based on. The star is again the wonderful Audrey Hepburn as the loveable and shy chauffeur's daughter, Sabrina, who lives with her father on a wealthy familys estate in Long Island. Sabrina has always been in love with the families younger son David who has never paid her any attention to her. That is untill Sabrina returns from Paris a new woman and captures his attention. All seems to be going well untill Davids older brother Linus steps in and completely changed the game. I don't want to give away the whole story but there is romance and style abounding in this wonderful film!



Audrey's costumes as Sabrina were designed by Givenchy and chosen from his collection. Aurdrey and Givenchy formed a partnership and afriendship on this film that continued untill her death. He designed costumes for her for almost all of her films after Sabrina. The result is stunning on film and gives us insperation still today.
