Description

A charming, illustrated gift book combining two timelessly stylish subjects - Audrey Hepburn and the city of Paris.

Both classic, both inimitable, both fashion icons - Audrey Hepburn and Paris are a match made in heaven. Falling in love with the city at a young age, Audrey returned to Paris again and again in some of her most celebrated films (Sabrina, Funny Face, How to Steal a Million, Charade) wearing outfits from her favourite Parisian couturier, Hubert de Givenchy, and creating some of the most significant fashion moments of the twentieth century.

Audrey in Paris brings together over 100 stunning photographs of her most iconic moments in the city, from film stills and behind the scenes shots to candid images of Audrey enjoying the city as a visitor. The book also includes fun tips on exploring Audrey's Paris yourself, along with an illustrated map showing her favourite spots. While dozens of successful books on Audrey have been published, this will be the first to document her time in the city of light.

Tapping into Audrey's status as a fashion idol, which spans across the generations, as well as Paris's status as the world's capital of elegance, Audrey in Paris combines the gifty charm of How to be Parisian Wherever You Are with Audrey's forever appeal as a fashion muse.

Gorgeous finishes will make this a stylish gift book to be treasured for years to come.
