Breakfast at Tiffany's

We can't really talk about the 1960's without mentioning Breakfast at Tiffany's, now can we?

 Here's some fun facts you may not have known about the film:

1.) Capote envisioned Marilyn Monroe in the part of Holly Golightly, but her acting coach, Paula Strasberg, talked her out of it, saying the role's call-girl-like nature was bad for her image.

2.)Audrey Hepburn disliked Danishes even though a danish was the pastry of choice for her breakfast at Tiffany's. 

3.)Hepburn worked with designer Hubert de Givenchy to craft her costumes for the film. Holly's iconic little black dress is one of the most influential fashion choices in cinema history and a must for nearly every woman's wardrobe ever since. 


4.)You'd never know from Holly's lean figure that Hepburn had given birth to son Sean just three months before shooting. 


5.)The extras playing the guests at Holly's house party were all friends and relations of the director. According to studio notes, the revellers consumed plenty of real champagne, as well as 120 gallons of soft drinks and 60 cartons of cigarettes.

 Here is our take on the classic look. You'll be Audrey chic in your own little black dress in no time!
