Emily Channels Audrey Hepburn
Emily dressed as Holly Golightly for her own version of "Breakfast at Tiffany's." She was photographed by Brad Elterman in front of Tiffany's in Beverly Hills.
Audrey Hepburn is an icon whom I have always looked up to. She possesses a certain grace and charm that stands out more than many other great actresses of her time. I have seen almost every one of her films and read her books, and still find her elegance and sophistication of the 60s attractive and desired even today. I am a true fan.
I have always been drawn to Audrey's signature look that we all know and love from the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's." That high head of hair, diamonds and the little black dress. Ron, my publicist, knew how much I adore her and so he set up a shoot (unbeknownst to me) and I was thrilled when I found out that we would be re-creating "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Brad [Elterman, the photographer] wanted the shoot to be simple with just some shots in front of the store. He said, "As if Audrey were taking a stroll around town." The shoot was only 20 minutes, but was definitely my favorite.
I am infatuated with the past. The actors, music, history, films, and clothes of our past eras (especially the 1940s) are what I constantly immerse myself in today. Anybody who knows me would say the same thing. Yes, you could find me in my polka dot lace dress listening to some Ella while sipping tea from an old teacup. For me, that's pure bliss, and that's what I love. I am so drawn to the language and lifestyle, from manners to mannerisms, social interaction, etiquette and speech, I find it all so elegant. You could have met a real gentleman and a lady in that time...
