Close
your eyes and picture a beautiful woman in a Little Black Dress – the uniform of
New York.Chances are you conjure Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in the film of the
Truman Capote’s classic, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”
The iconic opening scene – featuring a pre-dawn, whippet-thin Audrey, dressed in perfectly cut Givenchy, long gloves, dark glasses and a swirling up-do – is seared into our consciousness.
