Givenchy, Hubert de. (1927–2018)
The Little Black Dress - Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"
Felt tip ink on paper

Original felt tip design sketch of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, showing her in her iconic black dress and holding a long cigarette, on a white 4 x 5.75 card, signed and inscribed to the lower right, "To Hans Jordan, Hubert de Givenchy." In very fine condition. A brilliant original sketch which is unmistakably the 'little black dress' Givenchy designed for actress Audrey Hepburn in the classic 1961 romantic comedy, the dress which has been voted the most iconic movie dress in the history of cinema.  We could find no record of a signed Givenchy drawing of his most famous design having appeared on the market. 

The French aristocrat and fashion designer founded The House of Givenchy in 1952 and is celebrated in particular for having designed much of the personal and professional wardrobe of Audrey Hepburn, as well as clothing for clients such as Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. He was named to the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame in 1970.

"Hubert de Givenchy was that rare designer whose work reached everyone from fashion aficionados to the casual observer. It defined an era. It helped to create the foundation for what it means to be a fashion icon. His work told the story of glamorous sophistication, female rebellion and the complexities of beauty and desire.  He achieved this remarkable feat with a single little black satin dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in the opening sequence of 1961’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” From the front, the dress was simple enough: sleek and sleeveless with a flattering bateau neckline. From the back, it was dynamic, sexy and utterly sophisticated with its geometric cutouts and the alluring way it framed the nape of the neck.  That moment in that dress tells the audience a lot about Hepburn’s character, Holly Golightly. For one thing, it’s a cocktail dress — an evening dress — and there she is standing on the street peering into the store window with her breakfast. She has been out all night and she does not look wrecked. In fact, she looks splendid.  The dress is not easy to wear. It follows the curves of the body. It reveals the arms. But it’s not a dress that constrains a woman. It requires effort but not sacrifice. The dress is special. It makes a woman want to slink about, controlled and teasing. It’s possible to envision it on all sorts of shapes — slim, like Hepburn, but also curvy. And it looks as perfect in 2018 as it did 50 years ago.  Givenchy didn’t invent the little black dress, but he gave it its enduring cachet. He infused it with meaning beyond the practical and versatile. The dress represented a lifestyle: glamorous, reckless, defiant, urbane. It was Holly Golightly’s dress. She was complicated and sad, confounding and charming. She was not Everywoman. She was exceptional, which is what every woman wants to be.  And her signature dress was wondrous." (Robin Givhan, "What Givenchy knew before the rest of us about the power of a little black dress," Washington Post, 3/12/18)

Great squeaker balls - dogs favorite but not for aggressive chewers.
We have a chocolate Labrador retriever and a golden retriever who love balls. Tennis balls don’t last. We’ve been very happy with the ChuckIt quality. We especially love the bucket of orange balls those last until we lose them. We’ve tried to other products from ChuckIt and they’ve always been excellent. Squeaker toys are a special favorite in our home. However most don’t last because our dogs are moderately aggressive chewers. They haven’t destroyed these… yet. HOWEVER, we have a ball-obsessed, very aggressive chewer grand dog Sadie (“Ball Is Life”) who visits frequently. She goes nuts over anything that squeaks. She’s not satisfied until all squeakers are dead. And she destroy this ball in about 2 minutes. It’s fine when she supervised and we’re playing fetch. But when left on her own, she’ll find these balls and destroy them. We had 6 and in 2 days were down to four. I will still give it 5 stars because nothing is indestructible. And Sadie is an exceptionally aggressive chewer. On durability, these are above average maybe 7/10. But be warned, aggressive chewers will destroy them.

Durable except squeaker only works for a few minutes
My pups loves these balls mostly for the squeaker. Company dose not glue the squeaker in place inside of the ball so after a few chews from pup the squeaker pops out n bounces around the inside of the ball. Than after awhile the end pops out n that's a good thing for me due to I'm able to glue the squeaker back in place then glue end back also. Now the squeaker works again. Easy fix yet company should have done this before my pups played with them. Scary, what if my pups chew the ball n by chance chocks on the squeaker? I now take the ball apart when they 1st arrive n glue the squeaker n end in place the day before they play with them. Company should just glue the squeaker in place before they sell them to keep our pups safe from chance of chocking.
