Iconic

There is something absolutely classic about Audrey Hepburn. She was the epitome of elegance, and she carried herself with grace and poise. She endeared herself to the hearts of millions, and her "Audrey Style" has become iconic.

The interesting thing about Audrey's fashion is that it fit her so well. She knew what worked for her, and carefully chose her clothing so as to complement her figure. Yet what worked for Audrey did not always work for everyone else. Audrey Hepburn did not wear clothes as much as the clothes, in a sense, wore Audrey. The reason that Audrey Hepburn became an iconic fashion symbol is because she defined fashion.

She tailored her clothes to suit her stature. She did not squeeze herself into skin tight jeans, nor did she feel compelled to conform to the status quo. Audrey disregarded the dictates of fashion, opting instead to wear clothing that accented her body. In this way, she rose above the limits of her day and gathered a huge following of adoring fans. “My look is attainable. Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying the large sunglasses, and the little sleeveless dresses.” ~Audrey Hepburn

The design of her clothes was simple, yet there was an element of class to Audrey's look. It was utterly feminine. Audrey paid close attention to the details, and added little touches to her ensembles that became legendary. Even today, her influence still lingers. Audrey liberated women's fashion. Her 'look' is timeless, and her beauty will continue to endure.

"I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing." ~Audrey Hepburn
