on Tom Ford:
"Tom's a friend of mine. I've known him for a long time from the fashion world and socially. I knew that he had aspirations to direct. He's talked about it for a long time, but never to me.When he sent me the script it was out of the blue, it was a quite a surprise. I was very struck by it. I loved my character. She made me laugh and I hadn't seen anyone like her before and I hadn't seen a friendship depicted like that." NY Daily News

Gigi- Leslie Caron, gown designed by Cecil Beaton (My Fair Lady)
Sabrina-Audrey Hepburn~ gown by Hubert de Givenchy
Audrey Hepburn~ gown by Hubert de Givenchy Oscar Nominations for GIGI
- Academy Award for Best Picture (winner)
- Academy Award for Best Director (Vincente Minnelli, winner)
- Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay (Alan Jay Lerner, winner)

What you might not know: Gigi is adapted from 1944 novella by French author Colette. The film has long been compared to My Fair Lady- Audrey Hepburn was offered the role but declined.
Leslie Caron and Louis Jordan in Gigi
Oscar Nominations for SABRINA
- Best Director - Billy Wilder
- Best Actress - Audrey Hepburn
- Best Art Direction (Black-and-White) - (Art Direction) Hal Pereira and Walter Tyler; (Set Decoration) Sam Comer and Ray Moyer
- Best Cinematography (Black-and-White) - Charles Lang, Jr.
What you might not know: All of Audrey Hepburn's costumes for SABRINA were designed by Hubert de Givenchy and selected by Hepburn. Though Edith Head accepted the Oscar she refused to give credit to or share the award with Givenchy. Edith Head refused to be shown alongside Givenchy in the credits, so she was given credit for the costumes, although the Academy's votes were obviously for Hepburn's attire.
OH Edith- Shame on You!

It is always fascinating to see fashion that takes its inspiration from movies. I can't say Marchesa was directly inspired by Sabrina or Beaton's Gigi, but the influences are there.
