Audrey Hepburn, 60s icon. Audrey Hepburn charmed audiences in the 1950s as a new type of cinema personality - gamine, doe-eyed, and refreshingly casual. By the 1960s she had transformed into a trendsetting sophisticate and achieved unrivaled careers as an actress, model, movie star, and champion for underprivileged children worldwide. Curator and photographic preservationist David Wills has amassed one of the world\'s largest private collections of original Audrey Hepburn photographs. Now, in Audrey: The 60s, he has gathered spectacular museum-quality work from her key photographers - Richard Avedon, Bert Stern, Cecil Beaton, Douglas Kirkland, William Klein, Terry O\'Neill, Howell Conant, Bob Willoughby, Pierluigi Pratulon, Bud Fraker, and many others - to create this stunning portfolio of images that pays homage to the most beloved and enduring style icon of the "decade of change."
Klappentext:

Audrey: The 60s is a landmark photographic chronicle of her film and fashion career during those tumultuous years. Regarded as one of the most beautiful and best-dressed women in the world, Audrey Hepburn had timeless appeal-and this breathtaking photographic collection compiled by David Wills, author of Marilyn Monroe: Metamorphosis, captures this legendary star at the height of her career-from Breakfast at Tiffany\'s to the Vogue fashion shoots with world-class photographers that captured her unique, trendsetting style.
