In 1953, with the fire of the love movie "Roman Holiday", Princess Anne's actor Audrey Hepburn quickly became popular, and the success of this film made her win the best actress award at the 26th Academy Awards at a young age.
After becoming famous, Audrey Hepburn participated in the comedy film "Dragon and Phoenix Matching" directed by Billy Wilder in 1954, and under the excellent acting skills of the two male gods and Hepburn, "Dragon and Phoenix Match" was broadcast and caused a huge response.
But in addition to the excellent acting skills of the main actors, what makes the audience most happy is Audrey Hepburn's various costume styles in the movie, especially the small black dress with off-the-shoulder, which is still called a classic to this day.
And the hero behind the many perfect outfits on the screen is the famous master Givenchy in the clothing industry.
The movie "Dragon and Phoenix" is the first encounter between Audrey Hepburn and Givenchy, that is, this encounter, so that the two people who did not know each other have become confidants for many years to come, and also let Givenchy win the Academy Award for Best Costume Design that year, but the first cooperation between the two is not as beautiful as imagined.
In fact, long before becoming famous, Audrey Hepburn was very fond of Givenchy, so before the start of "Dragon and Phoenix", Audrey Hepburn wanted the producer to invite Givenchy as the costume designer of the film.
Hepburn and Givenchy
Because of the same name, Givenchy thought that the actress who designed the clothes was Catherine Hepburn, so when Audrey Hepburn came to Givenchy studio full of joy, Givenchy did not attach much importance to the newly famous little girl, and even wanted to refuse the job.
Because Audrey Hepburn's fame was nothing compared to Catherine Hepburn's fame, but when Audrey Hepburn put on the costume he designed, Givenchy changed her mind.
Because the clothes she designed were worn on Hepburn's body, it was so surprising, Givenchy had never seen a woman's own body temperament, and her own clothing would be so perfect, as if each of her clothes was tailor-made for her, and she let her clothes have life and soul.
It turns out that Givenchy's feeling is right, and Hepburn's appearance not only allows Givenchy to find his own muse, but also makes Givenchy feel the fit of the soul.
To show the importance he attached to Hepburn, Givenchy designed a one-of-a-kind perfume for Hepburn in his third year of acquaintance, named "Taboo".
This perfume was Givenchy's first bottle of perfume, and the only perfume that Audrey Hepburn had insisted on using all her life, and when the old Van Xi gave this perfume to Hepburn, Hepburn had no intention of saying that since it was given to me, no one could buy it.
Givenchy
Because of this sentence of Hepburn, Givenchy did not produce and sell it for three years before the taboo came out, until three years later, Hepburn took the initiative to sell it and acted as a spokesperson for him free of charge, and the perfume was launched.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, the two people who were so right and talented and feminine did not come together as desired.
Because soon after meeting Givenchy, Hepburn was with his boyfriend
Mel Feller married, the two lived very happily after marriage, but as Hepburn became more and more famous, there seemed to be a gap and gap between the two, and as the gap widened, the two who felt the pressure finally ended the 13-year marriage relationship.
Hepburn was depressed for a long time after the divorce, and Givenchy knew about this matter, so he pushed off the work at hand for the first time, concentrated on accompanying Hepburn, and spent the saddest time with her.
Hepburn, who walked out of the previous relationship, met her second lover, Andrei Doty, and soon after the two entered the marriage hall.
But the good times are not long, soon after the marriage Andre will be the original form, in the 12 years of marriage, Andre has cheated on different women many times before and after, as a popular actress Hepburn, more than once stood up to clean up the mess for her husband, and finally discouraged Hepburn, took the initiative to divorce and ended his second marriage.
After two failed marriages, He's heart is exhausted, but the only thing that can comfort her is that for so many years, Givenchy has been around and cared for herself.
Fortunately, God is fair, in Hepburn's third marriage, finally met the lover who can spend his life with him, Givenchy as a friend for many years, the third time he designed the wedding dress himself, and delivered his perfect muse to the eyes of his husband Robert Waldes.
Every time Hepburn got married, Givenchy was on the scene, and the wedding dress made for her was probably Givenchy's most sincere love and blessing for her.
In her later years, Hepburn unfortunately fell ill with cancer, and she decided to return to her hometown of Switzerland to spend her last time, knowing Hepburn's idea, Givenchy ran around begging for help, and finally borrowed a private jet.
When Hepburn dragged his tired body to the plane, the scene in front of her stunned her, the cabin was covered with her favorite flowers, and at this age, probably only Givenchy could still satisfy her girlish heart and spoil herself like a little girl.
When Hepburn died of illness in 1993, Givenchy accompanied Hepburn for more than 40 years to carry the coffin with her husband and son, sending her on her last journey.
Soon after, Givenchy officially stepped down, leaving the fashion circle where he had worked all his life, without the designer of the muse, even if he designed more clothes, he did not have the original soul.
From young fame to retirement, Givenchy accompanied Hepburn throughout his life, the feelings between them are not like love, or have long exceeded love, Givenchy's love for Hepburn is everywhere, and not marrying in his life may be the best proof.
