Who better to be the subject of our first Film Fashion blog than the iconic Holly Golightly, the epitome of cinematic chic for the past four decades?  Played to perfection by Audrey Hepburn, Holly was a  restless soul, with a deeply shallow dream.  As we watch the film, we follow Ms. Golightly’s social trajectory and romantic travails through a dizzying whirl of shops, outings, and parties.  (Black and White Ball king Truman Capote wrote the novella the film was based on, after all).

Even today, Holly’s is the movie wardrobe to beat - it even seems that she and Hepburn have become fused in our collective consciousness as one LBD-wearing, diamond-dripping, chignoned, croissant-eating figure in film and fashion history.  It is hard to say whether, without Holly and Audrey, would we have Gwyneth-as-Margot-Tenenbaum or Kate-Hudson-as-Penny-Lane or Kirsten-Dunst-as-Lux-Lisbon at all - those fictional but somehow very real icons of utterly chic yearning.  Holly Golightly is fabulous and inspiring - who wouldn’t want to emulate her?

Holly wouldn’t be Holly without her little black cocktail dress.  This modernized version is by Nicole Miller.

The girl who brunched at Tiffany’s would certainly appreciate these Swarovski crystal hair combs.
