Sixty years ago, richard avedon and the women of bazaar who made him famous were immortalised in ‘funny face’, starring audrey hepburn and fred astaire. In our own 150th anniversary year, we celebrate the film’s mirroring of fashion, fantasy, and iconic photography.
One of the most famous scenes in the 1957 film Funny Face is when Audrey Hepburn, perfectly cast as a bookworm turned model, glides down the steps of the Louvre in Paris. She wears a sheath-like red Givenchy dress, and holds a gossamer-thin scarf behind her, so it billows out above her head, floating in mid-air as she walks. “Take the picture! Take the picture!” she cries, as her co-star Fred Astaire, in the role of the photographer, Dick Avery, snaps one of the most memorable images of the film. Funny Face’s narrative is punctuated with these picture-perfect stills.
