All the famous ladies want a Givenchy dress—actresses, opera singers, princesses and the wife of a president. When Audrey Hepburn has to figure what to wear for her next movie, she approaches Givenchy, but he’s too busy to design something just for her. When encourages her to try on clothing from within his collection, they’re both stunned by what they discover.

Bursting with color and panache, Hopman’s double portrait of Givenchy and Hepburn lovingly captures one of the 20th century’s most beautiful friendships.
Kirkus Reviews

This joint biography gives a charming account of their individual ascents to fame and long-lasting friendship...Hopman’s watercolors are reminiscent of fashion sketches in their energetic lines and dashes of color.
