Fashion icon Givenchy dies

-

French couturier Hubert de Givenchy, a fashion pioneer who designed Audrey Hepburn’s little black dress for “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” has died at the age of 91.

The House of Givenchy said “he revolution­ized internatio­nal fashion with the timelessly stylish looks he created for Audrey Hepburn, his great friend and muse. His work remains as relevant today as it was then.”

A towering man of impeccable manners, Givenchy forged close friendship­s with his famous clients, from Hollywood legends like Liz Taylor and Lauren Bacall to women of state, including Jackie Kennedy and Princess Grace.
