Audrey Style [ハードカバー]

  基金活動で子どもを抱く愛情に満ちた晩年のオードリーの表情と、バレリーナ時代の屈託のない、無垢というよりただ幼い感じのする10代のころの彼女の表情を見比べると、彼女は本当に最後まで成熟を止めなかった女性だし、『ティファニーで朝食を』のホリーや『ローマの休日』のアン王女を演じることで自分の想像力や愛情を豊かに育てたのだ、と思えてくる。

  ジバンシーやグレゴリー・ペック、ナンシー・レーガン、スピルバーグ、ラルフ・ローレンらからのコメントも掲載。多くの未公開写真を含む100枚近いグラビアと、デザイナー自身の手によるオードリーのためのラフ・スケッチ、『ムーン・リバー』『麗しのサブリナ』『マイ・フェア・レディ』でのメイク（シャドウやチークや口紅のさし方や色…）を紹介するカラーイラストなど、目で愛でて最高に楽しい。ベッドタイムにコーヒーテーブルの上でぱらぱらめくっているうち、物語部分を読みふけりはじめ、気がついたら明け方だった…なんてこともありそうだ。（石井節子）

Everyone, it seems, is a fan of Audrey's. She was Gigi, a princess, Holly Golightly, a nun, Maid Marian, even an angel. And we believed her in every role. But Audrey Hepburn was also one of the most admired and emulated women of the twentieth century, who encouraged women to discover and highlight their own strength. By example, she not only changed the way women dress--she forever altered the way they viewed themselves.

But Audrey Hepburn's beauty was more than skin deep. "You know the Audrey you saw onscreen? Audrey was like that in real life, only a million times better," says designer Jeffrey Banks. For the first time, this style biography reveals the details--fashion and otherwise--that contributed so greatly to Audrey's appeal. Drawing on original interviews with Hubert de Givenchy, Gregory Peck, Nancy Reagan, Doris Brynner, and Audrey Wilder, as well as reminiscences of professional friends like Steven Spielberg, Ralph Lauren, noted Hollywood photographer Bob Willoughby, Steven Meisel, and Kevyn Aucoin, Audrey Style brings the Audrey her family and friends loved to life.

With more than ninety color and black-and-white photographs, many of which have never before been published, and original designer sketches from Edith Head, Hubert de Givenchy, Vera Wang, Manolo Blahnik, Alexander McQueen, and others, Audrey Style gives measure to the grace, humor, intelligence, generosity, and inimitable fashion sense that was Audrey Hepburn.
