Thanks to all the people who’s been with me in this path called life, supporting every decision and madness I always come up with.
Audrey Hepburn The actress, the lady, the wife and mother, the fashion icon and the Unicef ambassador. She was so many things, and trying to represent everything in one single book is too hard; and to make it in a different way many other authors have, is even more difficult. In this book, I want to show the mature Audrey, the one that, even through the pass of years, kept being so beautiful and natural. The first part shows her as a Fashion Icon, as an elegant lady on and off screen. The second part shows her humanitarian side, with her expeditions to lots of African places helping children in poverty. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed making it!
Fashion Icon Hepburn earned her place in the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame in 1961 but her reverence as a fashion icon has continued long since her death, proved by accruing the titles “most beautiful woman of all time” and “most beautiful woman of the 20th century”. Despite being far from the Hollywood preference of bosomy actresses like Marilyn Monroe, Martine Carol, Kim Novak and Lana Turner, Hepburn was very feminine by her grace, huge eyes and long legs. Against the gender stereotypes of the time, the natural thickness of her brown eyebrows made her “funny face unforgettable,” reminisced director Billy Wilder. He joked, “This girl...may make bosoms a thing of the past.” “[Givenchy] gave me a look, a kind, a silhouette. He has always been the best and he stayed the best. Because he kept the spare style that I love. What is more beautiful than a simple sheath made an extraordinary way in a special fabric, and just two earrings?” revealed Hepburn

Humanitarian Lady Hepburn was appointed Goodwill Ambassador of UNICEF. Then-United States president George H. W. Bush presented her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of her work with UNICEF, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences posthumously awarded her the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her contribution to humanity, with her son accepting on her behalf. Grateful for her own good fortune after enduring the German occupation as a child, she dedicated the remainder of her life to helping impoverished children in the poorest nations. Hepburn’s travels were made easier by her wide knowledge of languages; besides being naturally bilingual in English and Dutch, she also was fluent in French, Italian, Spanish, and German. “Taking care of children has nothing to do with politics. I think perhaps with time, instead of there being a politicisation of humanitarian aid, there will be a humanisation of politics.”

“Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it’s at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.” Audrey Hepburn
