Mr. Givenchy and Ms. Hepburn found each other before either was really famous— the designer had only recently opened his maison; her first major movie had yet to be released— and they stuck with each other through seven films, from 1954 to 1987.
He made not just the white dress she wore to win her Best Actress Oscar in 1954 (for“Roman Holiday”) but her wedding dress (for her second marriage, to Andrea Dotti).
And so many betwixt and beyond that, in 2016, the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague had an entire retrospective devoted to his work for the actress, called“To Audrey With Love.”
In the show, Ms. Hepburn was quoted as saying of the relationship:“Givenchy’s clothes are the only ones I feel myself in. He is more than a designer, he is a creator of personality.”It’s as good a description of the role that clothes can play in building an image as any I have ever heard.
拓展:纪梵希品牌的标志分别代表古典(Genteel)、优雅(Grace)、愉悦(Gaiety)和纪梵希(GIVENCHY),其标记是4个“G”字母的变形组和黑体字GⅣENCHY字样,这也是当初创立品牌时所赋予的精神。
