Chiara Pasqualetti Johnson. Our Fair Lady: Audrey Hepburn’s Life in Pictures
Непревзойденный символ грации и женственности, Одри Хепберн, пожалуй, самая любимая звезда в истории кино. Она очаровала миллионы людей сладостью своей улыбки и неповторимым стилем и смогла на протяжении десятилетий обновлять свой имидж, предвосхищая модные тенденции и утверждая новый идеал красоты. Этот том прослеживает невероятный взлет Хепберн, от ранних лет до ее всемирной славы. Книга разделена на четыре раздела: «Звезда родилась», рассказывающая о первых шагах Одри в центре внимания как танцовщицы с оленьими глазами; «Золотой век», как Одри стала музой Юбера Живанши и подарила Голливуду новый идеал элегантности; «Стиль дивы», в котором затрагивается «Завтрак у Тиффани», где Холли Голайти вошла в историю кино своими солнцезащитными очками и маленьким черным платьем, а также многие другие более поздние киноработы Одри; и «Спасение детей». В этом последнем разделе книги большое внимание уделяется ее гуманитарной деятельности в качестве посла ЮНИСЕФ на стороне всех детей мира. И на экране, и в реальной жизни Одри осталась верна элегантности сдержанности и доброте, скрытой за ее незабываемой улыбкой.An unrivalled icon of grace and femininity, Audrey Hepburn is perhaps the most beloved star in the history of cinema. She enchanted millions of people with the sweetness of her smile and her inimitable style and was able to renew her image throughout the decades, anticipating fashion trends and establishing a new ideal of beauty. This volume retraces Hepburn's incredible rise, from the early years to her worldwide fame. The book is divided into four sections: ‘A Star is Born', which follows Audrey's first steps into the spotlight as a doe-eyed dancer; ‘The Golden Age', how Audrey became the muse of Hubert de Givenchy and gave Hollywood a new ideal of elegance; ‘A Diva's Style', which touches on Breakfast at Tiffany's, where Holly Golighty went down in the history of cinema with her sunglasses and little black dress, along with many other of Audrey's later film work; and ‘Saving the Children'. This final section of the book puts great emphasis on her humanitarian work as UNICEF ambassador, on the side of all the children of the world. Both on screen and in real life, Audrey has remained faithful to the elegance of understatement and kindness, hidden behind her unforgettable smile.
