This special relationship is what has prompted Monsieur Hubert de Givenchy to entitle the exhibition ‘To Audrey with Love’: also the title of his recent book, likewise dedicated to his beloved friend Audrey. In addition to wonderful designs by Hubert de Givenchy, some of them actually worn by Audrey Hepburn, the exhibition will include design sketches, drawings, photographs and film stills that bring to life the spirit and timeless beauty of a unique pact of friendship and elegance.

Back in 1988, the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag presented a successful exhibition entitled 'Hubert de Givenchy. Haute Couture worn by Audrey Hepburn', the opening of which was attended by both Audrey Hepburn and Hubert de Givenchy. Audrey Hepburn's family ties with the Netherlands made that exhibition project particularly precious to her — a further reason why Hubert de Givenchy is so pleased with the present grand sequel to that previous collaboration with the Gemeentemuseum:
'To be back in Holland is always an important moment for me and especially in order to present the exhibition 'To Audrey with Love', an emotional tribute to Audrey Hepburn in her native country and in the great Gemeentemuseum. I am convinced that Audrey would have been very proud and happy with this beautiful project of exhibition. We love you Audrey.' — Hubert de Givenchy
