A tandem that changed fashion through the world of film. The meeting between Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn took place in 1953, when the actress came for fashion advice for the film "Sabrina".
Givenchy was expecting a more famous Catherine, but when he saw a skinny girl with short hair, thick eyebrows, large eyes and a generally interesting face, he immediately got a new inspiration and a new muse.
They remained good friends for 40 years, their collaboration culminating in the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's", when Audrey definitely became a fashion icon. She stated that he is not only her fashion designer, but also the creator of her personality.
Towards the end of her life, the actress gave the designer a navy blue coat, telling him: "When you are sad, wear it and it will give you courage." Even 20 years after her death, Givansi said: "From Geneva to Paris, I cried in the jacket she gave me." The best person I've ever met. She was a fairy, and fairies never die. "
"As you get older, you realize you have two hands: one to help yourself, the other to help others."
From 1954 until her death in 1993, Audrey Hepburn supported and assisted UNICEF. UNICEF has declared Audrey a goodwill ambassador. Guided by the experience of starvation during the German occupation in her youth, she advocated the provision of water and food to the most endangered nations in the world.
Through her position at UNICEF, she visited Africa and Central and South America, where, as she says, she realized that "all these tragedies are caused by the negligence of humanity and that there is only one cure for them that only man can provide - peace."
She was most shaken by the situation in Somalia, which she visited in 1992. After returning from that country, she fell ill and passed away.
She was really amazing. I do not know why, but I think that she is much different from all other famosu women in that period. She was not drinking alcohol, she was not doing drugs and all other things that are following the glamurous life.
