Hibi Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 SAD NEWS! Thanks for posting this. Certainly one of the greatest costume pairings in cinema history. Audrey always insisted on paying the going price whenever she purchased his gowns for special occasions. They were close friends until she died. Did he ever write his memoirs? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Incredibly, I dont think he ever received even an Oscar nomination for any of the films he did with her.

LawrenceA Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I'll mention that he was nominated for a Costume Design Oscar once, for 1957's Funny Face, a nom he shared with Edith Head. They lost to Orry-Kelly and Les Girls. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

None of the Parisian dresses (except maybe the How to Be Lovely number)....... 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

She probably would've stolen that one too........ as an artist (of sorts) the thought of taking credit for someone else's work is just SO repulsive to me, and the fact that the work GIVENCHY did for SABRINA was so STUNNING and INNOVATIVE and quite frankly revolutionary would make it all the moreso. i will FOREVER give Edith side-eye for taking full credit for SABRINA. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They lost to Orry-Kelly and Les Girls. I'm glad you mentioned the redoubtable Edith Head. Truly one of the most disgusting Hollywood Backstage Legends of all time. But I have to say that she did marvelous work for Hitch. Miss Head was exceedingly resentful of how Audrey brought in Givenchy to do her personal wardrobe in a number of films. Miss Head carried this hate and resentment to her grave. But I don't think that Edith really could have given Audrey the style and European aura that the star deserved and got from M. Givenchy. There are so many controversies concerning Edith Head that she deserves a thread all her own. Link to post Share on other sites
