" It was like I was born to wear his clothes" said Audrey Hepburn. When she was sent to his house fora fitting.. Givenchy had been expecting Kathryn Hepburn. Givenchy opened his coutour house at the age of 25. He was encouraged by Balenciaga, he specialized in clothes for the new era of air travel and grand eveningwear. In 1956 Givenchy banned the press from his shows, saying " A fashion house is a laboratory which must conserve its mystery. He retired in 1995, making way for two of the most publicity-aware designers - John Galliano and Alexander McQueen- to design under his name. ( The Fashion Book; Phaidon; pg195)
