Breakfast at Tiffany's




Struggling writer Paul Varjak moves into a New York apartment building and becomes intrigued by his pretty, quirky neighbor Holly Golightly. Holly's lifestyle confuses and fascinates Paul; in public she flits through parties with a sexy, sophisticated air, but when they're alone she changes into a sweetly vulnerable bundle of neuroses.

This film is a very important film, in terms of the film industry and fashion. The movie sky rocketed Audrey Hepburn into a great icon, for elegance, confidence, humour, intelligence, beauty and class. The whole world who lived or is smart enough to know their history knows or has heard of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. She has not only inspired the fashion industry, but has inspired women all over the world. The outfits created by Givenchy, who created most of Hepburn’s films, created the simple black dress matched with pearls and gloves. A simple dress that could be worn to a cocktail party or just hanging out, outside. This woman has risen to be the icon of womenhood today. An inspiration still alive today. Fashion designer Mary Quant, labeled Hepburn as, ‘the most stylish woman that ever lived’.

This inspiration is still in, and probably will be around for a long time. such items like Capri pants, Slim trousers, A black turtleneck, Basic, wrinkle-free, button-down shirt, Ballet flats, The little black dress, Evening gown (breathtaking, but simple),Silk scarf, Pearls, Flashy hat, Trench coat and many more. Most great designers take inspiration from this movie or at least keep it in the base while looking for inspiration.

But the most important designer to be related to this film, was Givenchy. A prominent European designer who used this movie as a film fashion show. his works were recognised by the whole world through this film, and one could only agree that this film made him more famous.
