A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Everyone, it seems, is a fan of Audrey's. She was Gigi, a princess, Holly Golightly, a nun, Maid Marian, even an angel. And we believed her in every role. But Audrey Hepburn was also one of the most admired and emulated women of the twentieth century, who encouraged women to discover and highlight their own strength. By example, she not only changed the way women dress--she forever altered the way they viewed themselves.

But Audrey Hepburn's beauty was more than skin deep. "You know the Audrey you saw onscreen? Audrey was like that in real life, only a million times better," says designer Jeffrey Banks. For the first time, this style biography reveals the details--fashion and otherwise--that contributed so greatly to Audrey's appeal. Drawing on original interviews with Hubert de Givenchy, Gregory Peck, Nancy Reagan, Doris Brynner, and Audrey Wilder, as well as reminiscences of professional friends like Steven Spielberg, Ralph Lauren, noted Hollywood photographer Bob Willoughby, Steven Meisel, and Kevyn Aucoin, Audrey Style brings the Audrey her family and friends loved to life.

With more than ninety color and black-and-white photographs, many of which have never before been published, and original designer sketches from Edith Head, Hubert de Givenchy, Vera Wang, Manolo Blahnik, Alexander McQueen, and others, Audrey Style gives measure to the grace, humor, intelligence, generosity, and inimitable fashion sense that was Audrey Hepburn.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Audrey Style was first published by Aurum in 2000, and has been selling and reprinting ever since. It quickly established itself not only as a beautiful, covetable item that, once picked up, had to be bought - but also as that rare breed, a book with appeal to many different constituencies and markets. Fans of Audrey Hepburn (of whom there are so many) bought it as a loving tribute to a great film actress and style icon. Fashion and design students bought it as a work of reference and inspiration. Readers of biography bought it as the account of a life that spanned everything from Breakfast at Tiffanys to tireless work for the United Nations. Now Audrey Style is finally republished in paperback, the year after Pamela Clarke Keogh's subsequent Audrey Hepburn book, the delightful What Would Audrey Do?, also published by Aurum, has sold over 10,000 copies in just six months. There are many books about Audrey Hepburn, and a seemingly inexhaustible appetitite for books about her from the bookbuying public. But Audrey Style is one of the classics, and available now to a whole new market. Pamela Clarke Keogh is also the author of What Would Audrey Do? and Jackie Style (both published by Aurum). She divides her time between New York and London.
