SABRINA (1954) - Sabrina Fairchild's (Audrey Hepburn) Screen-Matched Embroidered Silk-Organza Gown - Sabrina Fairchild's (Audrey Hepburn) screen-matched embroidered silk-organza gown from Billy Wilder's Sabrina. Sabrina wore her Parisian gown to the Larrabee's party at the mansion after she was invited by David Larrabee (William Holden). Details in the pattern of the dress, specifically in the way the pattern cuts off along the top and the left princess seam, match to the film. The dress also photo-matches to promotional images from the film.Reportedly, director Billy Wilder sent Hepburn to Paris to choose her own wardrobe for the production, which led her to up-and-coming French fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy, who would go on to create many renowned outfits and even perfumes for Hepburn over the years. Givenchy, too busy working on his upcoming collection to create anything new for Hepburn, offered to let her select from his previous season's designs. There is still debate over whether Hepburn returned from Paris with finished Givenchy pieces or only designs, from which costume supervisor Edith Head then created her own versions. While Givenchy is often credited for the gown, Head herself claimed to have designed the entire gown from just a croquis Hepburn had made while viewing Givenchy's runway show in Paris, with the outfit's most celebrated elements being of Head's own creation.After its release, Sabrina was No. 1 in the box office for two weeks and nominated for six Academy Awards®, with Edith Head winning Best Costume Design - Black-and-White for her work on the film. The film was preserved by the National Film Registry for being culturally significant. Sabrina's iconic dress was also utilized for publicity around the world in promotion of the film.Originating from the collection of Debbie Reynolds, this petite two-piece gown features a strapless organza and taffeta mid-century pencil silhouette dress with boning in the bodice and padding in the bust; a matching, detachable 3/4 skirt in the form of an overskirt train with stiff tulle within the train to add dimension and stability; and a pleated black dust ruffle at the hem. The silk organza fabric of both the main dress and separate skirt attachment is embellished with peacock feather motifs with flower clusters embroidered in black-and-white thread at the hem and bodice. The interior of the dress and train features the "Paramount Pictures Inc. Ladies Wardrobe" stamp in yellow. Originally white, the silk organza exhibits yellowing from age, turning it a shade of off-white. The lot also exhibits some seam separation and minor holes from age and handling.Estimate: $100,000 - 200,000Bidding for this lot will end on Tuesday, March 12th.
