What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Hopman’s paintings ooze Parisian elegance, and a vertically oriented spread, splashed with pink, showcases Hepburn wearing her classic Breakfast at Tiffany’s dress.”– “Publishers Weekly”
Givenchy’s signature designs, including a hot-pink, double-page spread of Hepburn’s ubiquitous Breakfast at Tiffany’s black dress, leap from Hopman’s page with verve and humor. Bursting with color and panache, Hopman’s double portrait of Givenchy and Hepburn lovingly captures one of the 20th century’s most beautiful friendships.– “Kirkus Reviews”
This joint biography gives a charming account of their individual ascents to fame and long-lasting friendship…Hopman’s watercolors are reminiscent of fashion sketches in their energetic lines and dashes of color.–Julia Smith “Booklist”
