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.

"From the innovative mind of designer Gabriela Hernandez comes the first product in the next generation of Bésame Cosmetics, the Art Deco inspired Voluptuous Lip Colour Set. Developed over a two year period by Hernandez herself, the end result is an incredibly long lasting, botanically infused, moisturizing lipstick worthy of Bésame's commitment to offering high-end products designed with elegant packaging and natural and therapeutic formulas. The three-piece set includes everything needed for glamorous, voluptuous lips including lipstick in three romantic shades, lip pencil and an ergonomically designed lip brush. For Hernandez, the new Voluptuous lipstick is a labor of love: "I personally design the colors, texture, as well as researched and experimented with the ingredients to create the most luxurious lipstick products available to women today. Voluptuous lipsticks are designed to make every woman feel like a movie star-pampered, glamorous and special," states Hernandez."

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

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.
