Audrey Hepburn's Dresses are FOR SALE!
Posted on 7:06 AM by follow me
It is true - dresses, suits, tops and Givenchy all worn by Audrey Hepburn are to be auctioned off in the biggest sale of her clothing and accessories EVER in December, hosted by Kerry Taylor Auctions in London.
Included in this fabulous vintage clothing collection, which is being auctioned by a close friend of Hepburn's to whom she gave many of her outfits, are designs by Valentino and Givenchy.
Audrey and Givenchy met on the set of Sabrina in 1953 and developed such a good friendship that Givenchy designed almost all her dresses for subsequent films. Givenchy even created an "Audrey Hepburn Collection".
Also up for sale are a selection of belts, hats and a collection of letters written by Audrey Hepburn in which she describes her early film career, her engagement in 1952 to James Hanson and her time spent filming Roman Holiday in 1953.
This vintage collection is truly one of a kind and it is going to be a monumental auction with dresses already estimated selling for upto £50000.
