Movie of the week: Funny face
Givenchy wedding dress for Audrey Hepburn in 'Funny Face'
Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face: When in doubt, just think: what would Audrey Hepburn Do? The answer, of course, is Givenchy.
Audrey Hepburn's wedding dress in Funny Face marks the apex of her collaboration with Givenchy, and is the style which she is most know and the dress started the trend for tea length wedding dresses.
An encounter with Hubert de Givenchy began the start of a life-long friendship and collaboration between the pair that often saw Hepburn acting as muse for many of Givenchy’s designs. After creating the spectacular white and black ball gown for the 1954 comedy-drama Sabrina, Givenchy then worked with Hepburn on the costumes for the majority of her films, as well as creating pieces for her personal wardrobe. Their partnership allowed Hepburn to transform from a relative unknown gamine to a Hollywood star in her own right. Not being a fan of over-embellishment or garish pattern, his classic and stylish creations appealed to her. "Balenciaga once said the secret of elegance is elimination," she said. "I believe that. That’s why I love Hubert Givenchy… They’re clothes without ornament, with everything stripped away."
