Breakfast at Tiffany’s has been discussed through Givenchy for decades. But the film’s fashion story is bigger than Holly Golightly. Patricia Neal’s wardrobe gives a different kind of elegance.  #BreakfastAtTiffanys #PaulineTrigere #PatriciaNeal #Givenchy #AudreyHepburn #FashionConservatory

🎤 Whisper Transcript (en) ⏱ 52s

"It's widely known that Audrey Hepburn's wardrobe in Breakfast at Tiffany's was by Givenchy, but did you know Patricia Neal's wardrobe was credited to Pauline Trigere? Trigere was one of New York's great designers, and instead of sketching her designs, she preferred to drape the fabric directly on the body, cutting and pinning in real time until the shape was right. You can feel that approach in Neal's clothes. They are structured and intentional, coats and capes that keep their shape, collars that stand up, fabric with real weight. The wardrobe does its job. It signals wealth and authority before the character even speaks. Trigere's credit in the film is a reminder that American design was not simply echoing Paris. It was building its own language of sophistication on 7th Avenue. Ready to add Pauline Trigere to your collection? Explore our site to find you a perfect match. Fashion Conservatory.
