Hubert de Givenchy was a pioneer of modern elegance and one of the most prolific 20th century fashion designers. Audrey Hepburn was his ultimate muse and most enthusiastic supporter throughout their decades-long partnership. Together, they made fashion history, with Hepburn wearing his designs in her films and Givenchy looking to her for inspiration to influence his ever expanding atelier. PRODUCT CODE: WBL000705
