Dinner with Audrey: Know more about this biopic

The biopic will focus on the one evening that led to an unplanned friendship between Audrey Hepburn and Count Hubert de Givenchy. The main storyline describes Hepburn's entrance into de Givenchy's Parisian atelier. Quite expectedly, De Givenchy's exquisite designs became Hepburn's signature style and eventually, it turned out to be a decades-long partnership.

Hepburn and Givenchy met at a Paris dinner in the summer of 1953, starting their lifelong partnership.
