Audrey Hepburn came of age in the years following World War II, a time of great change for women the world over. With her blend of European elegance and American sportif, she stepped right into the century with a look that was at once sophisticated and attainable. She played heroines who were courageous, vulnerable, beautiful and strong in both their manner and way of dress: the Hollywood princess could be a real girl. As Newsweek wrote: 'She changed the way men looked at women and women looked at themselves'. Like Coco Chanel, Audrey not only affected the way women dress, she broadened the definition of beauty, offering a mature, unsubmissive and less blatantly sexual model. Audrey Style is the story of this inspiring woman who epitomized the fashion of a generation. Delightful reminiscences from friends in fashion and film celebrate her charm. Stunning fashion photographs, sketches and vivid writing explore the influence of her style on the way women look and dress today. Audrey Style remains as timely as it is timeless. This year's collections were full of cropped pants, low heels and other staples of the 'Audrey Closet' (there's a chapter on the essentials of the Audrey Look). The Audrey magic is defined in chapters on her beauty, spirit, fashion, simplicity, grace, discipline and reserve - to show readers how they can create some for themselves.
