Have you ever seen anything more beautiful than this image?

Synchronicity brought it into being.  Hepburn and Givenchy.

As I have been posting, many of actress Audrey Hepburn’s movie costumes were designed by Hubert de Givenchy, the famed French fashion designer.

Here we see the fashion designer above.

And here, in the photo, above we see a candid still of Audrey with Givenchy.  She is modeling the wedding dress she wears in Funny Face and appears to be dancing some ballet steps.

Fortunately, for us and all of posterity, a lot of photos of Audrey and her favorite designer, or Audrey in his clothing, live in the ether net. For me, the photo below is one of the most beautiful pictures ever taken of any person, ever. Beauty personified.

I just can’t get enough of this image.  I could look at it for the rest of my life.  And I plan to do just that!

But let’s talk a little turkey about Hubert himself.

Count Hubert James Marcel Taffin de Givenchy was born in 1927 and is of course a French aristocrat and the founder of The House of Givenchy in 1952.

He is, as we have been discussing, famous for having designed much of the personal and professional wardrobe of Miss Hepburn:

(and the two of them together is a pretty amazing sight)

Givenchy also created clothing for other amazing clients such as Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, seen below:

But there was something very special going on between Hepburn and Givenchy.

He even designed a fragrance especially for the actress.

As I said in my recent post on Funny Face, it is obvious that Miss Hepburn became the muse for many amazing artists, including Givenchy but also for the photographer Richard Avedon.

Givenchy, the designer, seen below, is himself is a pretty nice tall drink of water.

Wouldn’t you have loved to receive a personal note from him as below?

And here, to end this post, is a gorgeous Miss Hepburn in an equally gorgeous Givenchy design.  Sigh.  Absolutely breathtaking.

Au revoir mon ami, happy le weekend!
