Actress Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993, born in Belgium) was a girl who dreamed of being a ballerina.
In 1948, she moved to London and entered a ballet school, but gave up prima ballerina because of her height. In 1951, during the filming of the movie "Let's Go to Monte Carlo," she was discovered by French writer Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette and chosen to play the lead role in the Broadway musical “Gigi." She passed the screen test for the Hollywood film "Roman Holiday" and was cast as a princess.
Her "Hepburn cut," in which her hair is cut short in the front and curled on the sides, was a hit, and for the film "Sabrina the Beauty," she selected the costumes from Givenchy's Paris collection. Her black top, slender half-length pants, and flat shoes created a worldwide boom in "Sabrina fashion," and as a fashion icon, she became the object of admiration for many women. In her later years, she became a mother of two sons and a UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) Goodwill Ambassador, contributing to the protection of children living in difficult circumstances.
On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of her death, this exhibition will feature approximately 120 photographs, including works by renowned photographers, on the theme of movies in which she appeared.
