Audrey Hepburn: portraits of an icon

Image
Delightful exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery on the life of Audrey Hepburn. It looked at how she used fashion to define her individuality choosing Givenchy clothes in her early work but changing designers and her image in the 1960s. The show made good use of film stills as well as formal and informal photographs and ended with a fantastic wall of magazine covers shown in boxy white frames. However I almost liked the early fashion photographs by Anthony Beuchamp best as I didn’t know them so well. Reviews Times Guardian Telegraph Evening Standard
