truths.

In Blake Edwards' hands the story is lighter than the Truman


Capote novel on which it was based, but he manages to add
some trademark humour and keep the romance sweet. And
it's the romantic scenes that stand out; Holly crooning Moon
River to her cat, as Paul listens above; the day they decide to
do things they've never done before and the rain-soaked
climax.
Tiffany's is actually one of the few films not to be greatly
harmed by its flaws. Audrey Hepburn is delicious as Holly and

The dress, which revealed a


considerable
amount
of
Audrey's leg, were not suitable
for the movie and the lower

was
redesigned by Edith Head.
The actual dresses used in the
movie, created by Edith Head,

Conclusion
After doing this project I have realized that the
sayings like LBD is Timeless and Every
womans wardrobe must have a LBD & A LBD is
new everytime you wear it are very true.
The looks of Audrey Hepburn are evergreen and
will continue to inspire designers today and
tomorrow. Even after 54 years of the movie this
classic inspires a lot of fashion lovers.
I have also realized that fashion is just not limited
to big names but it trickles down to the very
common people.
