Givenchy, Hubert de. (1927–2018)
The Little Black Dress - Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"
Felt tip ink on paper

Original felt tip design sketch of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, showing her in her iconic black dress and holding a long cigarette, on a white 4 x 5.75 card, signed and inscribed to the lower right, "To Hans Jordan, Hubert de Givenchy." In very fine condition. A brilliant original sketch which is unmistakably the 'little black dress' Givenchy designed for actress Audrey Hepburn in the classic 1961 romantic comedy, the dress which has been voted the most iconic movie dress in the history of cinema.  We could find no record of a signed Givenchy drawing of his most famous design having appeared on the market. 

The French aristocrat and fashion designer founded The House of Givenchy in 1952 and is celebrated in particular for having designed much of the personal and professional wardrobe of Audrey Hepburn, as well as clothing for clients such as Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. He was named to the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame in 1970.

"Hubert de Givenchy was that rare designer whose work reached everyone from fashion aficionados to the casual observer. It defined an era. It helped to create the foundation for what it means to be a fashion icon. His work told the story of glamorous sophistication, female rebellion and the complexities of beauty and desire.  He achieved this remarkable feat with a single little black satin dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in the opening sequence of 1961’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” From the front, the dress was simple enough: sleek and sleeveless with a flattering bateau neckline. From the back, it was dynamic, sexy and utterly sophisticated with its geometric cutouts and the alluring way it framed the nape of the neck.  That moment in that dress tells the audience a lot about Hepburn’s character, Holly Golightly. For one thing, it’s a cocktail dress — an evening dress — and there she is standing on the street peering into the store window with her breakfast. She has been out all night and she does not look wrecked. In fact, she looks splendid.  The dress is not easy to wear. It follows the curves of the body. It reveals the arms. But it’s not a dress that constrains a woman. It requires effort but not sacrifice. The dress is special. It makes a woman want to slink about, controlled and teasing. It’s possible to envision it on all sorts of shapes — slim, like Hepburn, but also curvy. And it looks as perfect in 2018 as it did 50 years ago.  Givenchy didn’t invent the little black dress, but he gave it its enduring cachet. He infused it with meaning beyond the practical and versatile. The dress represented a lifestyle: glamorous, reckless, defiant, urbane. It was Holly Golightly’s dress. She was complicated and sad, confounding and charming. She was not Everywoman. She was exceptional, which is what every woman wants to be.  And her signature dress was wondrous." (Robin Givhan, "What Givenchy knew before the rest of us about the power of a little black dress," Washington Post, 3/12/18)

Pretty initial necklace
Color: A, Color: A
This is a cute necklace that I ordered for my daughter. This necklace is nice because it's decent quality but I wouldn't be devastated if it broke or got lost. The initial is nicely made and the chain is delicate. It's the perfect size for my 7 year old and I think my 11 year old would also like it. When I ordered it, it was $15 but now there is a coupon to make it $12 which is a great value. I would buy it for myself if it was silver. It comes in a nice box that makes it great for gifting.

Great for daughter or friend!
Color: E, Color: E
This is absolutely perfect for a daughter for Valentine’s Day or a gift just to give. The initial is in a gold with a gold chain and a precious pink heart. Easy to use gold clasp to put it on or off. The chain seems pretty regular like most chains, but seems durable enough to wear everyday. It hasn’t tarnished or turned any necks green so it’s skin safe I would say. Wouldn’t recommend showering with it, but it has stayed gold with no tarnish. It is simple and cute for a friend, daughter, even a mom.

Great for my 8 year old daughter. Dainty and elegant
Color: K, Color: K
This necklace is perfect for my 8 year old daughter. She loves dressing up her clothes with fun necklaces and this one is so elegant and pretty. The chain is very thin so be mindful of that. It could definitely easily break if not taken care of. I do like that it has an adjustable clasp so I can shorten it to where she likes it. The chain is actually a good length so there is room to grow. It is plated so definitely not recommended to wear in water of any kind as it will eventually turn. For the price it’s a good little necklace for younger girls and having their initial on it will be something special for them. The box it comes in is sweet and has a really motivational saying in it.

Must have
This initial necklace is adorable. The gold tone is pretty and shiny without looking cheap, and the pink heart adds the perfect little pop of color. It feels lightweight but well made, and the clasp is easy to use while still feeling secure. I bought it for my daughter and it’s the perfect everyday necklace cute, simple, and special without being over the top. It’s held up well so far with no discoloration, and it looks great layered or worn alone. Such a great little personalized piece.

Beautiful necklace!
I got this beautiful necklace with my daughter’s initial and I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It is a 18K gold plated chain and pendant, it looks high quality, and it is very light. My toddler loves the little pink heart, it’s quite the dainty detail! It makes for a beautiful present for your daughter, niece, friend, or loved one. The price is amazing, too! Go grab one or 5!
