About this deal

So we’re suddenly in a classic rom-com situation, and their final-scene kisses in the pouring rain becoming the blueprint for the genre, from Four Weddings and a Funeral to The Notebook. The novella meanwhile – despite the frothy, fizzing readability of Capote’s shimmering prose – leaves a more bitter taste, Holly scooting away in a cab never to be seen again. Golightly is a wild thing; there’s no containing her, no making her stay. She keeps on going lightly over the world, even if the need to keep reinventing herself starts to look more like a heavy burden. In the throng at the after-Oscars party: Audrey Hepburn (wearing extraordinary crystal earrings and lighting her own cigarette a la Holly Golightly)”, Los Angeles Times, April 13, ’88 Measurements: Freshwater pearl, diameter 0.2″. S terling silver plated with 24k gold copper wires, S ilky thread, Length 1.75″. Weight 0.2 oz I love making movies,” she says in that wonderfully elegant voice, as she leans forward so her press agent can light her cigarette “, New York Times, Jun. 4, ’80

Another thing that was forced on her – along with the rest of the kids and most of the adults in Holland – was a lousy diet. In the latter part of the war, food supplies ran out and, like many others, Hepburn suffered from malnutrition, which led to acute anaemia and respiratory problems. Like most people, Audrey Hepburn smoked because it calmed her nerves and anxiety. She doesn’t seem like she would ever get stressed, right? Well, she is human afterall. She was a deep thinker and reflector who enjoyed being alone by herself – she’s an introvert. Just because Audrey was an introvert doesn’t mean she didn’t know how to socialize. She was very good at it for being an introvert. A lot of the times, you would see Audrey Hepburn socially smoke with other costars. Relive the magic of Holly Golightly in this iconic sleepwear ensemble. Sleep in glamorous style with our exclusively designed and handmade sleep cover and tassel earplug/earrings set, inspired by the iconic Audrey Hepburn's role in the film classic, Breakfast at Tiffany's. We fell in love with the iconic sleep set we just had to make the world's best rendition! This set comes with the classic Tiffany-blue eye cover and purple earplugs/earrings as worn by Holly Golightly in the movie, all designed to achieve the closest resemblance to the originals featured in the film. Now you can really be the sleeping beauty that you are with this lovely set. Hand sewed with 100% silk. The Sleep eye Cover measures around 8.5″ across. Each elastic tie measures 16.3 inches, un-stretched. Weight 0.5 oz Such was the price of elegance. And yet the story of Audrey Hepburn's early life really does have a legendary, movie-like quality. One of her brothers was a prisoner in a Nazi labour camp. As children, starving, they watched railway wagons go by, full of children, also starving. Audrey, still a teenager, danced to raise money for the Dutch resistance. These things created a strong character, something many actors never get around to acquiring. And it paid off when, shooting a small role in another movie, she was offered the lead role in the stage musical of Colette's Gigi.

As with evening gloves, ladies' cigarette holders are measured by four traditional formal standard lengths: Traditionally, men's cigarette holders were no more than 4inches long. [2] Notable users [ edit ] In Where There's Smoke There's Fire (1920s), Russell Patterson depicts a flapper whose cigarette holder is not only a fashion accessory, but an important element of the interplay of line in the drawing.

Even the title Breakfast at Tiffany's implies a cultural turnabout. A film is no longer a freestanding drama. It is part product placement: a meal in a high-class jewellery store. It anticipates egregious tie-in titles such as Harley-Davidson & the Marlboro Man and The Coca-Cola Kid. It pulls it off, in a way those other films don't, because it's original, and its author is Truman Capote, and it features a wonderful fusion of star power, good acting and iconography.

My Compiled List of Audrey Hepburn Smoking Facts:

The postage stamp was taken out of circulation because of the cigarette. Did Audrey Hepburn smoke? She did. And not just as Holly Golightly in the film [Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)]. Even in her private life she couldn’t leave cigarettes alone in more than 40 years. So why was a graphic designer not allowed to immortalise the actress on a postage stamp in the way that she is nevertheless remembered by many? Namely as Holly Golightly, coquettishly poking out her particularly long cigarette holder from beneath her broad-brimmed hat” , Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Oct. 6th, 2005 Leading roles in Hollywood pictures followed, and Hepburn was romantically linked to various leading lights: the usual story. Where she differed in her trajectory from the starlets who had gone before, perhaps, was in her conscious decision to become a fashionista. The designer Hubert de Givenchy became a close friend and advised her on her wardrobe. Eventually the pair became business partners. Cigarette holders range from the simplest, single-material constructs to highly ornate objects with complex inlays of metal and gemstones. Rarer examples of these can be found in enamel, horn, tortoiseshell, or more precious materials such as amber and ivory. A similar holder made of wood, meerschaum or bakelite and with an amber mouthpiece was used for cigars and was a popular accessory for men from the Edwardian period until the 1920s. Each earring is made with an all-natural, freshwater pearl, so they may vary in size since we have not refashioned them in any way. The tassels are made from the highest quality thread, making them feel like they’re barely there if they happen to graze your cheek. The hooks of the jewelry are made from hypoallergenic, sterling silver plated with 24-karat gold, and all other hardware is made with copper, which carries mineral healing properties.
