Being Audrey Hepburn

High fashion icon Audrey Hepburn’s style is prominently featured in Mitchell Kriegman’s new novel, BEING AUDREY HEPBURN.  Her spirit and classic style make Hepburn a timeless model for fashion today – in fact her granddaughter, Emma Ferrer, was recently on the cover of Harper's Bazaar channeling some of Audrey's classic looks. 

In BEING AUDREY HEPBURN, Lisbeth tries on ‘that little black dress’ and her life changes forever. Lisbeth’s grandmother’s vintage dresses and her best friend’s designer style craft beautiful couture. Lisbeth is transformed into someone she’d much rather be like—Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

St. Martin’s Press: St. Martin’s Griffin was wondering—how much does Audrey Hepburn influence your own fashion style?

Sometimes all you need to stand out in the crowd is a little black dress, the right attitude, and a bit of help from one of the greatest movie stars the world has ever seen. Acclaimed writer and producer Mitchell Kriegman has written a fun and charming novel, Being Audrey Hepburn to reflect how all these elements come together and make a world of difference to one young girl trying to find herself.

Lisbeth knows a lot about impossible. Between her alcoholic mother, her walked-out-on-everything father, her five-times-a-felony brother, and her sister Courtney whose major life plans include ragers and wet t-shirt contests, there’s not a lot of possible out there.

Obsessed with everything Audrey Hepburn (whose movies are an answer to any major crisis), Lisbeth is transformed when she secretly tries on Audrey’s iconic Givenchy black dress from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Mistaken for a fashion icon at a party for the young and privileged Manhattan elite, Lisbeth’s identity shifts into ‘Lisbeth Dulac’. With the aid of her grandmother and her fashionista friend Jess, Miss Dulac has everybody fooled. Soon she’s faced with choices that she never imagined making – between who she’s become and who she once was.

Summer is almost over, but it is always a good time to curl up with a new fashion relevant novel.  If you read this book, please share your thoughts in the comment area below.  We hope that you find the fashion book to be enjoyable.
