Audrey Style

This book is great for any Audrey Hepburn fan. It has an abundance of pictures of her throughout her life and in the back of the book the source of each photo. I was also impressed with biographical content. I really was not expecting much from the content but it was fun to read, recapturing moments from her movies, anecdotes of those who knew her, and more. However, if you are looking for a straight biography of Audrey Hepburn I would recommend Barry Paris' Audrey Hepburn book. This book is for those who, as the title implies, love the style of Audrey Hepburn. If you adore her clothes or her make up, and are interested in further appreciating that side of Audrey then buy this book. If you are simply interested in fashion of the 50s and 60s you may also want to look into this. And if you love Audrey Hepburn do not hesitate to look at this book.

Some of the reviewers in this category certainly seem to have missed the title of this book: Audrey STYLE. This is the reason I bought it- to learn more about Audrey Hepburn's beautiful sense of style. Imagine my surprise at finding that it did not only discuss her fashion sense, but her wonderful personality as well! I was hoping this wouldn't be a run-of-the-mill biography, and it wasn't. Obviously if you want to read a heavy, thorough biography, this is NOT the book for you. However, if you want to read a light-hearted, stylish, and inspiring tribute to one of the greatest actresses and style icons of our time, then I highly recommend you read this book.

Visually perfect, inspirational, so moving it made me cry, this book is the most exquisite thing to look at, and one of the most entertaining and yet spiritually profound reads. Highest reccomendations, and a suggestion: Buy extras, you will end up "loaning" your copy away. You can never have too many of this book.

Forget about the monthly fashion magazines that grace the bookstore shelves and which become dated within a few weeks. If you want to learn true style and eternal beauty, THIS IS THE BOOK. Yes, I have been an Audrey Hepburn fan since I was seven, but regardless of one's feelings about her, anyone can learn a thing or three from this book about how to live life in a way that reflects the simple beauty within each of us. The book is rich in insight regarding Audrey Hepburn's life and philosophy, which influenced her style tremendously. Ms. Keogh doesn't set out to tell us how to BE Audrey Hepburn, since of course that would be impossible as there could never be another one like her again. Rather, she tells us how she developed and found her style, and how we too can find our very own, in the true spirit of Audrey Hepburn.
