( Holly Golightly )

Alix | relooking des héroïnes de notre enfance | Thursday, January 8th, 2009

Audrey Hepburn’s incarnation of Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s has got to be one of her most memorable roles.

Most of you are probably already familiar with the various outfits she dons throughout the movie, especially the classic scene where Audrey is wearing a black dress with an imposing white pearl necklace and Wayfarer sunglasses in front of the famous Tiffany & Co jewellery store.

If I chose to revamp Holly Golightly’s wardrobe, it was not necessarily out of love for her crazy up-dos, evening dresses, or uber-dressy coats. No, I think what I appreciate most about Holly is her extroverted personality, her bathtub couch and the way she can pull off wearing an oversized shirt, tasselled earplugs, or a sleep mask like no one else!

Music: Moon river - Henri Mancini

Le personnage de Holly Golightly dans Breakfast at tiffany’s est sans doute le rôle le plus mémorable d’Audrey Hepburn.

Les differentes tenues présentes dans le film sont donc pour la plupart connues de tous, en particulier lors de cette scène devenue mythique, dans laquelle Audrey porte une robe noire, un imposant collier de perles et des wayfarer devant les vitrines du célébre bijoutier.

Ce n’est pas tant pour les chignons bananes, robes du soir et manteaux ultra habillés que j’ai voulu recréer la penderie de Holly, mais plutôt pour mon attachement à sa personalité extravertie, pour son sofa-baignoire, et à sa façon de porter une chemise ample, des boules quiès et un masque de nuit comme nul autre !

Ahh, breakfast at tiffany’s, film culte, BO délicieuse, actrice hors paire :)
Ce film est un vrai petit bijou, parfait pr les soirées d’hiver lorsque qu’on n’a pas le moral.
En tant que fan incontestée je dois relever un petit détail…attention, lorsqu’elle petit déjeune devant la vitrine de tiffany’s, elle ne mange pas un croissant, mais bien un pain aux raisins. hé oui ;)

Bravo pr tes reconstitutions de look, c’est tout à fait l’esprit. C’est Hubert de Givenchy qui est à l’origine de sa fameuse petite robe noire.

Bises

I love and worship Audrey Hepburn, and while I think her performaces in Sabrina, My Fair Lady and Roman Holiday were superior to her turn as Holly, it’s still a fantastic film, she is as fabulous as ever and the wardrobe is stunning!

Il ne faudrait pas oublier de lire ton article en écoutant “Moon river” de Mr Mancini, chanson magnifique reprise bien sur dans un épisode de sex and the city fabuleux “toi, moi New york”!

Audrey Hepburn ça me fait penser à Blair Wardolf de Gossip Girl. Ca serait sympa d’avoir un jour sur le blog un outfit spécial “gossip girl”, essayer de refaire le style de Blair, Serena et Jenny !

Ce blog est tout à fait fabuleux! Super shopping spécial Breakfast at Thiffany’s :)
C’est exprès car il est passé à la télé cette semaine?
Oh, j’ai regardé les anciennes notes (d’où ma première remarque) où sont prises les photos avec la “chambre bleue”? C’est magnifique comme endroit…

 
2009-01-09 15:11:52

I love love love love LOVE Holly Golightly! I’m still on a hunt for alligator flats with pointed toes because of her (remember that scene where she’s looking for them and one shoe is in a fruit basket?). Totally timeless style.

Hi, love your style! and the sleep mask was my favorite that’s why I made my personal version of this cute mask. I would love to make one for you as a gift.

Ah oui, je sais, la masque est ma chose preferée dans ce film! Le sofa-bagnoire est super aussi! je voudrais savoir si peut être ça serait possible de faire à quelque lieu? J’aime beaucoup “son” Chat appalée Cat aussi, ohoho, mon chat s’appelle gato, c’est Cat en portuguais. Mais c’est pas à cause du film pourtant, j’ai seulement vu le film l’année passée et Gato a 6 ans déjà! :D Le post est super, mais tous les tiennes sont, n’est-ce pas?

Waouh, je ne suis pas une lectrice assidue des blogs de mode mais je suis en train de réaliser que c’est (en tout cas dans ton cas) un travail très fin et soigné. Tes propositions de looks tirés des différentes facettes du personnage dans le film sont remarquables! Cela a dû te prendre un temps fou… mais c’est en tout cas très réussi.
