Auction of Audrey Hepburn’s dresses

by Jenny on November 30, 2009

audrey hepburnHave you ever dreamt of wearing one of Audrey Hepburn’s wonderful dresses? Well, now that dream can come true. Audrey Hepburn is one of the biggest fashion icons of the 19th century who has continously influenced generations on how to dress – with her famous ballet flats, striped maillot top and capri pants. She is also known for her many beautiful dresses from designers like Givenchy and Valentino.

This week 30 of Audrey’s outfits will be sold on auction and 50% of the proceeds will go to The Audrey Hepbrun Children’s Fund and Unicef. There will be everything from dresses, accessories, the weddingdress that she never wore (was made for her marriage to James Hanson which Audrey called off just a few weeks before the wedding) and personal letters written by Audrey on the auction.

I have a feeling these items will be very popular among the fashion lovers out there. Happy to see that fashion helps a good cause!

If only… although as the tiny size eight she was, I would probably get it on but not be able to close.
She was sooo cute! Although did you know she had a size 10 feet?
