ODE TO AUDREY
November 19, 2009
At Topshop HQ we're all slightly in love with Audrey Hepburn and now the fashion world is getting breathless with anticipation as a collection of her dresses come under the hammer. Thanks to her long-standing friendship with Hubert Givenchy, Hepburn was one of the world's best-dressed women and had a sense of style and an eye for detail that is as revered today as it was when she was alive.
The beautiful collection of 30 garments is due to be auctioned off by Kerry Taylor over three days in December and we can’t wait to get a glimpse of that famous Audrey style! Expect six-figure price tags and a flurry of sartorial excitement. You can take a look at the catalogue here!

And those of us who can't quite stretch to the real thing there's a fabulous new book called Audrey Hepburn: International Cover Girl by Titan Books, that takes a peek at the style icon through the many and varied magazine covers she graced. The perfect gift for Christmas - we'll be looking for it in our stockings!

I'm crazy over her! Her style's coming back now, the shifts, the mod, and the dreamy details. And this might be strange, but I love her strong brows. (:

She had such timeless and classic style which has lived on throughout the decades. If only I had a six figure sum in the bank to bid for one of these beauties!

She was such a style icon and so elegant. It will be fascinating to see how the auction goes and who buys what.
