“AUDREY HEPBURN: PORTRAITS OF AN ICON”

August 11, 2015

“The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart. ”

Well I can tell you, Audrey H , a true beauty, always opened her heart to us !

As I was strolling through her exhibition ” Audrey Hepburn : Portraits of an Icon ” at the National Portrait Gallery in London, it felt like walking through her life : born a young  girl in Belgium, trying to survive as a teenager with her aristocratic mother in the Netherlands, experiencing that last harsh winter of hunger before the Second World War ended , arriving in London for her first stage experience in ” Petite Sauce Tartare “, moving on to New York for ” Gigi ” at the Fulton Theatre…
And then her chapter of films we have watched again and again from ” Roman Holiday ” over ” Sabrina “, ” War and Peace “, and “Funny Face ” to the iconic ” Breakfast at Tiffany’s “.

As everybody started to discover her,  she flanked many (fashion) magazine covers and became the eternal muse for Hubert de Givenchy.
There’s only one recurring theme through her life as an actress, as a model and a Goodwill Ambassador  For UNICEF :
She was one of the purest, most stylish,  elegant women we ever knew !

Her gamine look , those gazelle-like eyes , her pure posture, healthy and sincere smile and her simple, respectful attitude towards life made her unique !
Natalia Vodianova – Supernova described her perfectly :
“She shone without out-shining others- a humble , fragile beauty who put people at ease.”
I think that’s the fundamental reason why we all love and adore her and maybe want to be like her. She will always be the example for femininity  in such an attractive way to all of us.

“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I’m possible!”

Audrey Hepburn
