The little black dress that Givenchy designed for Audrey Hepburn's character Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's sold for $800,000 on Tuesday, reports Yahoo! News. The proceeds went to the charitable organization City of Joy Aid.
Excerpts from the article:
"There are tears in my eyes," said Dominic Lapierre, who
runs the charity. Givenchy gave the dress to his friends the
Lapierres to raise money for the charity.
"I am absolutely dumbfounded to believe that a piece of cloth which belonged to such a magical actress will now enable me to buy bricks and cement to put the most destitute children in the world into schools."
What a lovely story--perfect for the holidays! --Kim
