REVIEW OF THE MOVIE “BREAKFAST AT

TIFFANY’S “

MENTOR:MR. JANMAY SINGH HADA

ABOUT THE MOVIE

Story of a woman making her own way in the big city

Lead actress : Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly, an eccentric cafe society girl

Its influence on costume design and classic style is legendary, and it forever changed the look of women everywhere

HOLLY’S FASHION STATEMENT

Dying inside, uses beautiful clothing

as a disguise

Wardrobe Designer: Hubert

de Givenchy

Has limited options, but each piece she wears again usually looks different due to her accessory changes.

A glam doll, even her nightgown is super

glamorous!

Four Timeless Looks from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”

Epitomized 1961 glamour Holly made viewers everywhere pine for a wardrobe makeover

and a salon day

1.Little Black Dress

Invented by: Coco ChanelBut launched by Breakfast at

Tiffany’s

Holly convinced women everywhere that the LBD was

a wardrobe must-have

She honed this fringed Givenchy cocktail dress three

times in the film, each time breathing new life into it through a little inspired

accessorizing

2. Oversized Sunglasses

Designed by:by Oliver Goldsmith

Added a modern, playful twist to Holly’s classic gowns and

pearls

Trend popularized further by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in 1970s, Mary Kate Olsen in the

modern era

3. The French Pleat

This dramatic updo elevated Hepburn’s delicate beauty into

something regal

Became so synonymous with the film that it’s hard to

separate the two

Its recent, more casual incarnation, the top knot,

proves that Holly’s trendsetting mojo is still

working its magic.

4.The Cat Eye

Hepburn’s understated cat-eye makeup gave her sophisticated style a flirtatious, sultry edge without going over the top

The look remains a staple for anyone looking to add a little

sizzle to their style.

Followed hotly by American celebrities like Rihanna and

Angelina Jolie

FASHION ADOPTION THEORIES

•Innovation initiated from the street•Since she is a struggling city girl, her wardrobe consists of many low end items of clothing, but she makes them work by experimenting with accessories

Trickle up

•A style offered by top strata , accepted by lower strata•As soon as Holly’s wardrobe items hit the market, people from everywhere flocked to the stores to own a piece “just like Audrey did”...

Trickle down

•Fashion moves horizontally between groups on similar social levels•The popularity of the movie has been believed to have introduced the Little Black dresses in countries such as India.

SUBCULTURE SHOWN PRIMARILY IN THE MOVIE:MINIMALIST FASHION

(Perfect balance out of imbalance)

TECHNICOLOR FASHION

The Italian designer Givenchy dressed Hepburn in nearly all of her films, and the idea of every

outfit was the same: simple, functional pieces with an

emphasis on line and shape.

She's an aspiring socialite

Cant afford much

Accessorizes with elaborate jewels and broad-brimmed hats as big as her personality.

Majority :black clothes

Relationships affects clothing

Relationship progresses, her dressing becomes casual and colourful

We see the "real" Holly who is both brighter and softer

She is always adopting a persona in the form of her clothes

Youthful optimism

Holly's pink party dress, worn on a date with a man she intends to marry, : spot of hope and happiness

Her clothes are elegant and wearable at the same time.
