Audrey Hepburn’s lack of pretension in the way she dressed translated into a simple elegance that transcended fashion.  “She looks so pure,” says Audrey Wilder.  “She doesn’t wear jewels or furs like the rest of us, and half the time her only makeup is around those huge eyes of hers.”  This clear-eyed, down-to-earth outlook of Audrey’s remained with her always.  As John Loring put it, “Anything that was flash to her was not real glamour or chic.  There was no pretension.”  Forty years before Armani, Audrey taught us there is nothing more modern than the absence of excess.
