The fashion aesthetic of handsome, aristocratic Hubert de Givenchy combined the traditions of haute couture&;creative, luxurious, and perfectionist&;with a modern entrepreneurial sensibility. In a career spanning 40 years, he created the most glamorous of evening dresses, developed the influential &;sack&; dress, and produced debonair daytime suits that have never gone out of fashion. He also famously defined the sartorial image of Audrey Hepburn&;both onscreen and off&;designing the little black dress for Breakfast at Tiffany&;s . Created by the editors of British Vogue , Vogue on Hubert de Givenchy features biography and history studded with more than 80 images from their unique archive of images taken by leading photographers such as Irving Penn, Patrick Demarchelier, and Cecil Beaton.

VERY NICE AND WELL DONE (molto carino e ben fatto)
Metto 4 stelle solo perché è arrivato con una leggera ammaccatura dietro e senza la pellicola protettiva, ma il libro è molto carino, è semplice, ci sono foto e illustrazioni sia degli abiti di Givenchy che di Audrey. Scritto con un inglese facilmente comprensibile ed è davvero una piccola gioia averlo in libreria (avrei preferito delle dimensioni poco più grandi così da rendere ancora più belle le foto, ma anche così va bene). Preso a 14€ e sicuramente ne vale la pena! I put only 4 stars because it came with a slight dent on the back and without the protective plastic, but the book is very nice, it's simple, there are photos and illustrations of both Givenchy and Audrey's dresses. Written in easily understandable English and it's really a little joy to have it in the library (I would have preferred the slightly larger size to make the photos even more beautiful, but that's okay too). Taken at 14 € and definitely worth it!

A wonderful book about Givenchy. his style and how he became famous for his simple lines and elegance. His favourite customer was Audrey Hepburn. Very easy to read. It also has beautiful croquis.
