2. ABOUT THE MOVIE
Story of a woman making her own way in the big
city
Lead actress : Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly,
an eccentric cafe society girl
Its influence on costume design and classic style
is legendary, and it forever changed the look of
women everywhere

3. HOLLY’S FASHION STATEMENT
Dying inside, uses beautiful clothing as a disguise
Wardrobe Designer: Hubert de Givenchy
Has limited options, but each piece she wears again
usually looks different due to her accessory changes.
A glam doll, even her nightgown is super glamorous!

4. Four Timeless Looks from
“Breakfast at Tiffany’s”
Epitomized 1961
glamour
Holly made viewers
everywhere pine for a
wardrobe makeover
and a salon day

5. 1.Little Black Dress
Invented by: Coco Chanel
But launched by
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Holly convinced women
everywhere that the
LBD was a wardrobe
must-have
She honed this fringed
Givenchy cocktail dress
three times in the film,
each time breathing new
life into it through a little
inspired accessorizing

6. 2. Oversized Sunglasses
Designed by:by Oliver
Goldsmith
Added a modern,
playful twist to Holly’s
classic gowns and
pearls
Trend popularized
further by Jacqueline
Kennedy Onassis in
1970s, Mary Kate
Olsen in the modern
era

7. 3. The French Pleat
This dramatic updo
elevated Hepburn’s
delicate beauty into
something regal
Became so
synonymous with
the film that it’s hard
to separate the two
Its recent, more
casual incarnation,
the top knot, proves
that Holly’s
trendsetting mojo is
still working its
magic.

8. 4.The Cat Eye
Hepburn’s understated
cat-eye makeup gave
her sophisticated style
a flirtatious, sultry
edge without going
over the top
The look remains a
staple for anyone
looking to add a little
sizzle to their style.
Followed hotly by
American celebrities
like Rihanna and
Angelina Jolie

9. FASHION ADOPTION THEORIES
•Innovation initiated from the street
•Since she is a struggling city girl, her wardrobe consists
of many low end items of clothing, but she makes
them work by experimenting with accessories
Trickle
up
•A style offered by top strata , accepted by lower
strata

people from everywhere flocked to the stores to own
a piece “just like Audrey did”...
Trickle

10. SUBCULTURE SHOWN PRIMARILY IN THE MOVIE:
MINIMALIST FASHION
(Perfect balance out of imbalance)

11. TECHNICOLOR FASHION
The Italian designer Givenchy
dressed Hepburn in nearly all of
her films, and the idea of every
outfit was the same: simple,
functional pieces with an
emphasis on line and shape.

12. She's an aspiring socialite
Cant afford much
Accessorizes with elaborate jewels
and broad-brimmed hats as big as
her personality.
Majority :black clothes

13. Relationships affects
clothing
Relationship progresses, her dressing
becomes casual and colourful
We see the "real" Holly who is both
brighter and softer
She is always adopting a persona in
the form of her clothes

14. Youthful optimism
Holly's pink party dress, worn on
a date with a man she intends to
marry, : spot of hope and
happiness
Her clothes are elegant and
wearable at the same time.
