“把自己的衣服照顧好,因為它們是你留給別人的第一印象……有些人夢想擁有一個游泳池,而我的夢想是一個衣櫥。”奧黛麗·赫本素有“史上最美女人”之稱,她的穿著品位可謂是一代又一代女性時尚的最佳教材。
好萊塢著名影星奧黛麗·赫本服飾拍賣會8日在倫敦舉行,包括她在上世紀五六十年代穿戴過的晚禮服、長袍、帽子和腰帶等在內的40多件服飾共拍出26萬多英鎊。
這次拍賣會由克里·泰勒拍賣行舉辦,最終的成交價比拍前的預估價高出一倍多。在所有拍品中,一件出自著名品牌紀梵希的黑色晚禮服特別引人注目,是赫本在1966年的影片《偷龍轉鳳》中的戲服,最終成交價為6萬英鎊,是估價的3倍多。
A Givenchy black Chantilly lace cocktail dress worn on screen by Audrey Hepburn, has sold for over 97,000 US Dollars.
The haute couture dress, worn by the star in the 1966 movie "How to Steal a Million", was the highest selling item from the Hepburn collection under the hammer at La Galleria in central London.
Kerry Taylor, Kerry Taylor Auctions, said, "The estimate was 15 to 20 thousand pounds. And it's beautiful condition, it's haute couture by Hubert (Givenchy) and she looked fabulous when she wore it in the film, so that's why it went for so much."
The dress was one of several designs by Givenchy up for grabs, including pared-down cocktail dresses, buttery silk tops, beautiful coats and dramatic sweeping gowns made by the legendary French couturier for Hepburn.
An ivory satin wedding dress designed by the Fontana Sisters for Hepburn's marriage to James Hanson in 1952, went under the hammer at over 18 thousand US Dollars. But the dress itself was never used after the engagement fell through.
Other star lots included an Yves Saint Laurent empire-waisted gown in white cotton.
