Holly Golightly's long black Givenchy dress, worn by Audrey Hepburn
The opening shot of Hepburn at a jeweler's window at dawn depends on this dress: a long black sheath by Hubert de Givenchy, made of Italian silk, that makes a party girl look untouchable on an empty Fifth Avenue. It is the reason the little black dress is so often credited to this film, even though the one on screen reaches the floor. Three versions exist. The one Givenchy gave to the writer Dominique Lapierre sold at auction in 2006 for a record £410,000.
