Breakfast at FUSION

 

Living a glamorous Audrey Hepburn life, but with a modern twist.

       hat is the first thing that pops into your head when you hear Audrey Hepburn? Is it the fact she wore a Givenchy dress in the first scene of Breakfast at Tiffany’s? Is it Breakfast at Tiffany’s or Roman Holiday? To me, it’s her glamorous iconic fashion, which some people say died with her. I have always wondered what Audrey Hepburn would be like in this era, how her glamour would have altered to fit in the new fashion that is growing to this day. I mean I wouldn’t picture Audrey in the new Urban ripped jeans, bomber jacket style, but I would imagine her being in a modernised formal casual look. Audrey herself outshined the character she played in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holly, who was unbelievably glamorous and fabulous, Audrey became a huge glamour icon, which was her own personal touch.

Right now I am sat watching Breakfast at Tiffany’s, with my cat Bluebell, just admiring the natural beauty of her. Holly and Audrey are very similar when it comes to their fashion sense, as they both look a million dollars.

She lived every fashion stylists dream. Could you just imagine being covered in real diamonds, pearls, Chanel, Dior and Prada? If it was me I would strut down the streets showing off my expensive glamorous fashion, but instead I settle for stylish trends such as TopShop and River Island, I may once in a while treat myself to a Louis Vuitton bag or Chloe but that’s my limit!

Now back to the modern Audrey Hepburn. I had this crazy Idea to recreate what I, personally thought would be the modern Audrey Hepburn, because she is irreplaceable. Audrey wasn’t just known for her style; Audrey touched a lot of people. She had a kind huge heart and opened up to many people and was an inspiration.

Audrey was a very sophisticated character. She was elegantly posed, at the same time dominating. She was the queen of the street and I have been so inspired by her, she composes herself in a way that presents her as a role model, to young women everywhere.

I felt so elegant but powerful. The fashion was so beautiful and stylish.

In this era, Audrey would still be obsessive over high designers such as Tiffany and Co and Chanel; however I think the casual look of hers would change. Whether Audrey was going to a movie premiere or was just going on a day out, her exaggerated glamour would be carried with her, but in this day and age I think she would have been subtler. As the saying the simpler the better, she would go with it. The exquisite love dress worn by Hannah Mansell in the top and bottom left corners are elegant and classy, which would catch Audrey’s eye. The shortness of the dress shows how it is from a modern era. The big oversized checked H&M coat adds to and reflects some of Audrey’s pervious styles in her era, but works well with this dress, creating a new stylish look. The plunge neck French connection dress (£220) worn on the previous page will connote provocativeness; however how the model portrays the dress makes it look so classy but dominating at the same time is just like what Audrey did! This is what I was wanting!


I have used peer to peer language and teacher to student language as the article is informative to the readers. The language is chatty, friendly and engaging, which makes it appealing as the audience is young females, so it is enjoyably to the reader.
