Audrey Hepburn in Hats

Product Information

According to The New York Post, she used her dance skills in performances that raised funds for the Resistance. Hepburn also delivered Resistance newspapers. She was an ideal choice because, as a teenager, she was young enough that the police didn’t stop her. Hofstede, David (31 August 1994). Audrey Hepburn: a bio-bibliography. Greenwood Press.

After her uncle's death, Hepburn, Ella, and Miesje left Arnhem to live with her grandfather, Baron Aarnoud van Heemstra, in nearby Velp. [10] Around that time Hepburn gave silent dance performances that reportedly raised money for the Dutch resistance effort. [32] It was long believed that she participated in the Dutch resistance itself, [10] but in 2016 the Airborne Museum 'Hartenstein' reported that after extensive research it had not found any evidence of such activities. [33] A 2019 book by Robert Matzen provided evidence that Audrey had supported the resistance by giving "underground concerts" to raise money, delivering the underground newspaper, and taking messages and food to downed Allied flyers hiding in the woodlands north of Velp. [34] She also volunteered at a hospital that was the center of resistance activities in Velp, [34] and her family temporarily hid a British paratrooper in their home during the Battle of Arnhem. [35] [36] In addition to other traumatic events, she witnessed the transportation of Dutch Jews to concentration camps, later stating that "more than once I was at the station seeing trainloads of Jews being transported, seeing all these faces over the top of the wagon. I remember, very sharply, one little boy standing with his parents on the platform, very pale, very blond, wearing a coat that was much too big for him, and he stepped on the train. I was a child observing a child." [37] Audrey Hepburn: Behind the sparkle of rhinestones, a diamond's glow". Time. 7 September 1953.

The Chapeu du Matin was featured on Audrey in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, paired with her oversized sunglasses and pearl earrings. This Audrey Hepburn hat has proven desirable for many women and to this day is considered to be quite fashionable. She had been offered the scholarship already in 1945, but had had to decline it due to "some uncertainty regarding her national status". [44]

What is not debatable is that this is an iconic fashion statement that Audrey made her own. The tiara is so fitting of Audrey’s brand that costume designers chose to feature the style in several of her movies including some of the most notable: Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and My Fair Lady. Like most acetate sunglasses at the time, the hinges were traditionally secured using solid metal rivets which would have passed right through the acetate frame front and temples. This is also how we make our spectacles and sunglasses, as this method provides a more stable and reliable structure. a b "History Lesson!
