Breakfast At Tiffanys Analysis

In my opinion, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (1961) is one of the most influential films in setting fashion trends. This Oscar Award winning movie is viewed as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry in 2012

I think “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” was a progressive film in 1960s, it is because the fashion designer, Hubert de Givenchy, worked with the actress in the film-making process. They collaborated together to make the wardrobe – the little black dress and the large black sunglasses. And that "Little Black Dress" by Givenchy, worn by Hepburn in the beginning of the film is cited as one of the most iconic items of clothing in the history

Even the image design of comic culture is referenced from it. According to Catwoman comic cover artist Adam Hughes, the comic book Catwoman character was originally drawn based on Hepburn.

The trend of wearing little black dress aroused the cheap rip-offs of the original Givenchy dress flooded the market afterwards. However, we all know that it is because all women wanted to look like Audrey Hepburn.

In addition, the changeable style of Hepburn in the film has also made a great influence to the women, no matter pigtails or a puffed-up do. Women can imitate the images and style of Hepburn easily. If you are a working-class, tie a headscarf under the chin. Having a holiday? Wearing a wide-brimmed hat under the sunlight.

As Audrey Hepburn said, ‘My look is attainable. Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying large sunglasses and the little sleeveless dresses.’
