PARIS — Last night, on a regular night in Paris, Huber De Givenchy said his final goodbyes to the fashion world. Early this morning, Givenchy ‘s fashion house confirmed that the iconic designer died in his sleep at the age of 91. For more than 40 years, he had been living with his partner Phillip inside a Chateau just outside of Paris.
Givenchy, was perhaps best known for dressing some of his legendary gal pals (and the creation of The Little Black Dress). Among his famous pals were, ehum, Audrey Hepburn; and Jaqueline Kennedy-Onassis. Perhaps one of the more modern memories of Givenchy that most will have, is actually, the Little Black Dress worn by Hepburn in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffanys’.
Outside of Hepburn, he was also known for Kennedy ‘s dress choices. Her iconic pillbox hats; shift dresses, and low pump heels were all because of Givenchy and his feminine like designs.
