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)

Perfect for me
Color: Two Tone - Black/Grey
I love it. Quality is great and I needed something that would comfortably hold 8 cards/ID's. This is slightly larger than my previous on but that one only held 4-5 cards. So, you know, the more you carry the larger it has to be. This was perfect for me. Oh, and the Magnet is perfect for the money. I love magnet money clips for their ease of use. The letter loosens up after about a week of using cash and allows it to hold many bills securely after that break in period (like good shoes).

Nice small wallet, almost too small, ID pocket not very useful
Color: Two Tone - Cobalt Blue
It looks really nice and well-made, but the ID windowed pocket is too tight to easily get out your ID then you need to use it. No one lets you keep your ID in the wallet, so why bother with a clear window pocket?

Lots of Space for a Small Bag
Colorful and great! All Haven't been without a Coach bag since the early 1970s. I'm usually not fond of the signature bags, but this one is striking. Of course it is well made. The bag has two compartments that are large enough for checkbook & phone. It has 8 card holders, 2 smaller places for business & library cards, a place for folding money, a zipper middle compartment and 3 flat compartments for receipts, notes, etc that are all packed into a cool small bag. It comes with both a crossbody metal strap and a leather wrist strap.dd Often, I've found Coach credit card holders inside their bags are too small for credit cards. This bag has larger cardholders. Overall, I give it an A+.
