According to Givenchy himself, three versions of Holly Golightly’s little black dress were made for the film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s“. One is now in the Museum of Costume in Madrid, another is in the Givenchy archives in Paris, and the third is in Givenchy’s private collection. Since the death of Audrey Hepburn in 1993, Givenchy has been donating pieces from his collection to further the cause that was so close to her heart, helping disadvantaged children. This dress, the most iconic of the Givenchy-Hepburn partnership, goes on the auction block at Christie’s on December 5th in London. Proceeds will benefit the City of Joy Aid, a charitable group in India. Natalie Portman modeled the dress for the November cover of Harper’s Bazaar. Also on the auction block is another black Givenchy worn by Helpburn in the film Charade.
