Running now through August 17, if you are around the Lorraine region of France, feel free to drop by Château de Haroué, a modest 82 room bungalow (chateau actually means castle in French, and the French do not use that term lightly!). It is there that you will find a carefully chosen bevy of gowns designed by Paris's most renowned designers: Balenciaga, Venet, and Givenchy himself. The surroundings are astounding, the gowns are divine, and as an added bonus, the long black column dress Audrey Hepburn wore in the beginning credits of Breakfast at Tiffany's - Givenchy's own copy, and one of the three originals - will be on display for your pleasure.Can anyone make this trip? It's about 4 hours outside of Paris, for those in and around the area, and I'm sure your fellow fans are just dying to see some photographs. I'm not sure I'll be able to make it: I'm doing quite a lot of traveling this year and I'm already stretching myself thin as it is! But still, to see that gown in person, finally ...
Special thanks to Kendal, for typing out the original article on this exhibit, as found in the May issue of Vanity Fair (with Grace Kelly as cover girl).

hey thanks! my family and i are going back to france this summer and this seems like a great idea!
I love this blog and felt the need to proclaim it! Audrey is such a legend as you can probably tell by my user name im a fan lol. I only just discovered this blog this morning and have been reading it all day. Keep up the blogging x
hello, i never really left a word here before, but i think that after a long absence - during which i really missed the updates! - i should left a quick message to say welcome back and thank you very much for the effort, even 17 1/2 years after Miss Hepburn passed away! i really enjoy your blog and i hope there will be more AH events in the future, since my possibilities of travelling will increase this year. She is a true inspiration and will always be a reference to me.
