Breakfast at FIDM

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - The worlds of fashion and film go hand-in-hand. Hollywood’s greatest stars, from Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe and Rita Hayworth, to a host of modern actresses, have transcended cinematic stardom to become fashion trendsetters. Just consider any awards show: The first thing red-carpet interviewers ask is, “What are you wearing?” In honor of the little black dress that Hepburn wore in Blake Edwards’ film Breakfast at Tiffany’s (based on a book by Truman Capote), Downtown’s Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising is hosting an exhibition of little black dresses that range from the classic and historic to the modern and avant-garde. The show LBD: An Homage to Breakfast at Tiffany’s is timed to the 50th anniversary of the film. The outfits are arranged against Tiffany blue walls and the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s plays on a screen. The centerpiece of the exhibit is a dress by French designer Hubert de Givenchy. The black Italian satin sheath evening gown is a re-creation of the one worn by Hepburn as Holly Golightly in the film. The original was auctioned for close to $1 million in London in 2006. The outfits include some from vehicles one might not initially expect. That comes into play with the long-sleeved, knee-length silk velvet and organza dress worn by Jamie Lee Curtis, when she appeared opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger, in James Cameron’s 1994 film True Lies . Created by FIDM alumna Marlene Stewart, the dress is one of four that are part of the museum’s permanent collection.
