The two first met when Audrey came to him looking for dresses for her upcoming movie ‘Sabrina.’ But Givenchy mistakenly thought that Katharine Hepburn was coming in. Although he was a bit disappointed to see Audrey instead, the two ended up hitting it off and forming a real friendship.

Count Hubert James Marcel Taffin de Givenchy was his full name. He was a French fashion designer who founded the house of Givenchy in 1952. He was known for designing Hepburn’s personal and professional wardrobe.
