My Fair Lady: LBD icon Audrey Hepburn
"My look is attainable. Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying the large sunglasses and the little sleeveless dresses". And so our fascination with the actress, humanitarian and little black dress icon was born.
This month Audrey Hepburn's son Luca Dotti published his book Audrey in Rome, a series of previously unseen street photographs and tales featuring his late mother living out her life, in public and in the city she loved so much. For Team LBD Audrey Hepburn is the ultimate LBD icon and to see her in her natural environment, still oozing that natural chic and charm that earned her legendary status on the big screen and paparazzi filled red carpets, confirms her as a genuine and timeless fashion icon. Not to mention as the inspiration behind our brand.

Upon reading Dotti's book and learning that the leading lady didn't think herself special, or beautiful is even further proof of her natural grace. Hepburn's iconic look was, according to her son, what she thought of as 'a good mixture of defects.' Dotti explains in his book, "She thought she had a big nose and big feet, and she was too skinny and not enough breast. She would look in the mirror and say, 'I don't understand why people see me as beautiful'."
From the classic black dress that made Audrey famous (pencil style, sleeveless, designed by Givenchy, worn for Breakfast at Tiffany's, you know the one) to the Parisian style shades and hair scarves that Audrey donned to walk the streets of her beloved city it's clear from Dotti's book that for this lady style was something that came naturally and something us mere mortals can only learn.
