Icon's Fashions, Accessories and Letters Up For BidFans of style icon/actress, Audrey Hepburn (who isn't a fan?) are opting for a chance to own a piece of the star's wardrobe when the hammer falls at next month's London auction.
According to The Independent, thirty-six pieces of Audrey's clothes, accessories and letters go up for bid on December 8th.
Included in the collection are two custom Givenchy dresses from Paris When It Sizzles and How to Steal a Million.
In the display photo here that I shot during a vintage fashions exhibit last Spring, Hepburn is wearing the black dress by Givenchy in her most famous role - Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Three years ago the dress sold for a whopping $783,541.12.
In the upcoming auction the dresses dating from 1952 to the late 1960's are expected to sell for just over $25,000. So the lucky bidder could walk away with a prized Givenchy for a fraction of the auction price of the Golightly dress.
Proceeds benefit All Children in School, a foundation supported by the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund devoted to educate 120 million children worldwide.
