Gap/ Audrey Hepburn/Skinny Black Pants

[Cruise Arizona]

Has anybody else seen the new Gap commercial with the CGI Audrey Hepburn in skinny black pants dancing to heavy metal?

 

It sure does make her 1950's skinny black pants look hip and retro at the same time!!!

I just saw this commercial for the first time tonight! My 13 year old DD and I love Audrey Hepburn so we thought this was soooo cool! :D A great way to "relate" to my teenager!

I've seen the add several times in the last week. The first time I saw it though it disappointed me - because I was flipping through the channels and thought an Audrey Hepburn movie was on.:p

WE just saw this for the first time last night and loved it!

 

I'll agree, it's a little disappointing to just be a commercial and not a full length Audrey Hepburn movie! She's just so gorgeous and fun!

Saw it for the first time last night, thought it was great, love the ballet flats and the "all black" look, skinny pants on her look great. :)

I just saw this last night and was just NOW thinking about it when I saw this thread!!! How wild is that? I love those pants, and I have some that I bought a year ago that are almost exactly like those. I got them at Dillards - I forget the brand but they were $80 originally, and this was one of those terrific Dillards sales - I got them for $20!! They fit like a glove and are probably the most flattering pants I have. I am ecstatic to see more of them around! I wear them with black flats and a silk cheetah print sleeveless top with a mandarin style collar. Absoutely one of my favorite outfits.

First of all here is the link where you can see the 30 second and (better) 60 second commercial...

Now for those of you that "know" me, (and now those that don't), I am Rock and Roll Fashion guy, so I LURV this commercial (and the Gap black skinny jeans), because it combines classic fashion and heavy metal together and is brilliant, because it works so well.

The big fashion lessons here are:

#1 Build your wardrobe basics from timeless "classic" pieces, then add or change what is current at the moment...

Anything that is "classic" fashion will always remain in style, or come back in style quickly and always be useable/wearable...

#2 Only wear clothes that work for your body type and personailty...

Audrey Hepburn, never ever wore anything that did not fit her specific body type, or did not fit her personality (regardless of what anyone else was wearing)...

Therefore look at any of her movies to this day, she always looks good.

Side note:

Does anyone know or remember what movie this is originally from?

I'm thinking "Funny Face" with Fred Astaire, but I'm not sure.

That's the one. Now, I'm gonna have to go rent it so I can see the whole thing. I'm a big Audrey Hepburn fan.

Just saw this commercial recently for the first time. I'm a big Audrey Hepburn fan too and she looks adorable just dancing around in her Hep Cat Fashion :)

And remember those wonderfully skinny black pants look so good on AH because she was very skinny and very petite.

 

Prelude to a beatnik......

My husband fell in love with her all over again. :)

Yep, I hate 'em because my body type is pretty much as non-gamine as you can get:rolleyes:
