Takeing wardrobe cues from Breakfast at Tiffany's

 

The movie begins at breakfast, with lovely Holly Golightly (Hepburn), still dressed in an evening gown in the early morning light, drinking a cardboard cup of coffee and eating a danish as she wistfully browses the windows at Tiffany's. A "party girl," Holly spends her evenings with a series of older men who seem to have lots of money (she routinely receives $50 when she goes to the powder room, long before the "powder room" meant cocaine). She lives in a barely furnished apartment where she washes her hair, hosts parties, and attends to an independent orange tabby. Once a week, she traipses off to Sing-Sing to meet with admirer Sally Tomato, an Italian gent jailed for mob activities, who gives her "the weather report" to relay to his cronies on the outside.

 

 

 

 

 

Breakfast at Tiffany's  shows that how style is interweaved into Holly’s everyday life.

All these looks are very understated yet elegant, hinting that Holly would rather spend whatever money she hustled on fine clothes than furniture. It’s very French in that all the outfits seem well-made but styled nonchalantly, and also very American in that they are all very spare and minimal, with barely any jewelry.

One of my favorite look is when Holly brings Doc Golightly to the bus station, and proceeds to get absolutely shitfaced with Paul/Fredbaby.

The look is extremely simple: a trench coat, head scarf, black pique polo, tweed pencil skirt, and what I think are white kitten-heeled mules. Terribly chic, terribly simple, but very difficult to pull off.

This outfit still looks stylish on the current and upcoming fashion.

Taking cues from the featured to translate a certain look into a real life wear, it's very interesting to do that. Polyvore is the main tool used to create the collages; click through to see the details of each look.

  

The next look I enjoyed was the pink dress from the house party scene, this outfit may be worn for a casual brunch with friends or having a date with someone. In contrast to the preceding look, this is more femininity for a dating occation. A little lady-style coat with bright color may brings both vision enjoyment and pleasant feeling of fashion pursuitI. 

The last and the most classical is the Little Black Dress.

Holly wears a knee-length black shift dress with black pumps, a black purse, and accessorizes with a great black hat and statement earrings.

 I only remix a bit from this outfit, to make it a bit classic but still fashionable in order to fit a practical or modern look.

Wedding Inspiration: Audrey Hepburn and Givenchy

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."

Hooked on classics: The trench coat

Movie of the week: Waterloo Bridge

"Waterloo Bridge" tells the love story of the ballerina Myra and the young officer Roy. The film caused a sensation at the time, still enduring decades, is a very touching love drama. At the same time, the styling of male and female leads in this film reflect the fashion elements  during theWorld War II , and brought a lot of inspiration for the modern fashion designer.
