beMUSE

Audrey Hepburn

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."


She continues to be an icon to many young women today, was the muse of Hubert de Givenchy and ranked the third greatest female screen legend.  Most known for her role in Breakfast at Tiffany's, Audrey Hepburn played the guitar and loved to dance.  Surprisingly, she never saw herself as an icon.


What made her such a muse?  Simple, clean lines and silhouettes that flatter her figure with large, bold accessories.

Hepburn dedicated most of her later life to UNICEF and humanitarian work.  She contributed in Africa, Asia and South America.  She was also a Goodwill UNICEF Ambassador and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.  Hepburn mainly focused on helping impoverished children and was so passionate about it due to her war-time experiences.  She raised awareness about children in need and was given a special Academy Award called The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award posthumously.

"I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person." 
~ Audrey Hepburn
