Givenchy, Hubert de. (1927–2018)
The Little Black Dress - Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"
Felt tip ink on paper

Original felt tip design sketch of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, showing her in her iconic black dress and holding a long cigarette, on a white 4 x 5.75 card, signed and inscribed to the lower right, "To Hans Jordan, Hubert de Givenchy." In very fine condition. A brilliant original sketch which is unmistakably the 'little black dress' Givenchy designed for actress Audrey Hepburn in the classic 1961 romantic comedy, the dress which has been voted the most iconic movie dress in the history of cinema.  We could find no record of a signed Givenchy drawing of his most famous design having appeared on the market. 

The French aristocrat and fashion designer founded The House of Givenchy in 1952 and is celebrated in particular for having designed much of the personal and professional wardrobe of Audrey Hepburn, as well as clothing for clients such as Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. He was named to the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame in 1970.

"Hubert de Givenchy was that rare designer whose work reached everyone from fashion aficionados to the casual observer. It defined an era. It helped to create the foundation for what it means to be a fashion icon. His work told the story of glamorous sophistication, female rebellion and the complexities of beauty and desire.  He achieved this remarkable feat with a single little black satin dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in the opening sequence of 1961’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” From the front, the dress was simple enough: sleek and sleeveless with a flattering bateau neckline. From the back, it was dynamic, sexy and utterly sophisticated with its geometric cutouts and the alluring way it framed the nape of the neck.  That moment in that dress tells the audience a lot about Hepburn’s character, Holly Golightly. For one thing, it’s a cocktail dress — an evening dress — and there she is standing on the street peering into the store window with her breakfast. She has been out all night and she does not look wrecked. In fact, she looks splendid.  The dress is not easy to wear. It follows the curves of the body. It reveals the arms. But it’s not a dress that constrains a woman. It requires effort but not sacrifice. The dress is special. It makes a woman want to slink about, controlled and teasing. It’s possible to envision it on all sorts of shapes — slim, like Hepburn, but also curvy. And it looks as perfect in 2018 as it did 50 years ago.  Givenchy didn’t invent the little black dress, but he gave it its enduring cachet. He infused it with meaning beyond the practical and versatile. The dress represented a lifestyle: glamorous, reckless, defiant, urbane. It was Holly Golightly’s dress. She was complicated and sad, confounding and charming. She was not Everywoman. She was exceptional, which is what every woman wants to be.  And her signature dress was wondrous." (Robin Givhan, "What Givenchy knew before the rest of us about the power of a little black dress," Washington Post, 3/12/18)

Best gift I gave my wife in a long time!
Size: One Size, Color: Parchment Multi, Size: One Size, Color: Parchment Multi
As someone who has never purchased a purse before, I wanted to get my wife something special for her birthday. I know she loves Kate Spade products for their excellent quality, so I decided to go with one of their purses. I’ll admit, I was a bit shocked at the price initially, but given its designer status and popularity, I should have expected it. When the purse arrived, I immediately understood why it’s priced the way it is. The craftsmanship, from the stitching to the overall quality, truly stands out. The difference between this and a purse from a big-box store is remarkable. Needless to say, my wife absolutely loved it. For a purse to impress both her and me, it’s an easy five-star rating!

High quality clutch with beautiful details.
Size: One Size, Color: Parchment Multi, Size: One Size, Color: Parchment Multi
Quite obviously you are paying for the name with this - as a middle-class mama wouldn't normally pay $200 for a clutch. BUT, if you love and can afford Kate Spade, this doesn't disappoint. It's obviously high quality, and the tri-tone is beautifully neutral (will go with almost anything). I thought it would be bigger because I didn't do my research; 'pochette' is French for an envelope shaped handbag, and this is definitely that. More of a small clutch - that will fit your cellphone, sunglasses and a couple other essentials. I do love the slim wallet attached by a chain that sits in the front pocket, so you can access that without having to dig thru the purse. Beautiful gold details, and high-quality zipper. Definite splurge - just need to find some pumps to go with it now for the wedding I'm taking it to!

Small size, minimal space
Size: One Size, Color: Parchment Multi
I am a huge Kate Spade fan and so happy to add this to my collection! It is more than reasonably priced for the quality and big designer name. It is small, and very minimal, just right for those times when you want to carry only the basics. The neutral tones are gorgeous and all the materials including leather and hardware are premium quality. It comes with a storage dust bag with the Kate Spade name and every bit of this pochette comes individually padded and wrapped for shipping. There is so.much.wrapping! To me it's overkill and wasteful, but they really ensure ultimate protection in the shipping process.
