Couturier Givenchy exhibits 100 outfits he made for actress Audrey Hepburn
One of the fashion world's greatest platonic love stories almost never came to pass, when in the 1950s French couturier Hubert de Givenchy at first refused a request to design for Audrey Hepburn.
"When Audrey came to me and asked me to make her dresses for the film Sabrina, I didn't know who she was. I was expecting Katharine Hepburn," Givenchy says in an emotional news conference for the opening of a new exhibition of his creations in The Netherlands.
