Audrey Hepburn in Hats

Product Information

In 1960, screen writer Blake Edwards was headhunting for the female protagonist for his upcoming romantic comedy film. It was to be a remake of the novel ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ and the author, Truman Capote, sought Marilyn Monroe to take the leading role.

By the mid-1980s and early 1990s, the straw hat tuned in to a new mood of empowered elegance. Enter Meryl Streep's tonal wardrobe in Out of Africa (1985); Julia Roberts’s polka-dot co-ord at the races in Pretty Woman (1990); Stacey Dash’s statement monochrome rose-embellished top hat in Clueless (1995); and Madonna’s latticed look, expertly angled, in Evita (1996). She’s like a salmon swimming upstream… She’s a wispy, thin little thing, but you’re really in the presence of somebody when you see that girl. Not since Garbo has there been anything like it, with the possible exception of Bergman.” This is a collector’s item for any Audrey/breakfast at Tiffany's fan. You will be the envy of every woman with this timelessly chic statement piece and we guarantee you won’t find a better rendition anywhere.Auction Frenzy over Hepburn dress".

Hepburn played Sister Luke in The Nun's Story (1959), which focuses on the character's struggle to succeed as a nun, alongside co-star Peter Finch. The role produced a third Academy Award nomination for Hepburn, and earned her a second BAFTA Award. A review in Variety reads: "Hepburn has her most demanding film role, and she gives her finest performance", [72] while Henry Hart in Films in Review stated that her performance "will forever silence those who have thought her less an actress than a symbol of the sophisticated child/woman. Her portrayal of Sister Luke is one of the great performances of the screen." [73] Hepburn spent a year researching and working on the role, saying, "I gave more time, energy, and thought to this role than to any of my previous screen performances". [74]

During these months quarantining at home, I’ve watched my hats steadily collect dust on the tops of my dressers and shelves. Just as many of us feel uninspired to get out of our sweatpants into proper streetwear, popping on a hat, masked and tired, doesn’t quite feel right (it’s like covering whatever part of your face that was left). I’ve missed walking out the front door, spontaneously, my hat and me leading the way. The dusty hats signaled that something was stagnant inside of me.
