Givenchy recalled, "people told me that miss Hepburn was going to pick out costumes for her next movie, and I mistakenly thought it was Katharine Hepburn (KatharineHepburn): I admire Katharine Hepburn very much, and it is an icing on the cake to design costume for her. But when I opened the door of the studio, a young girl came flying, with a slim and tall figure and a pair of deer like eyes. Short hair, wearing casual pants, white shirts, flat shoes, and a red ribbon on the sailor's cap. I told her, "Miss, although I am happy to serve you, there are only a few sewing machines in my studio, and I am really busy with the new season show. I really can not design costume for you." She replied, "can I see the costumes on display for the season?" so she tried on a few outfits -- "that's exactly what I want," she said. She knows all about her needs and understands the strengths and weaknesses of her appearance and form. She knew that she had to wear a flat necked evening dress to hide her bony clavicle. The style I designed for her turned into a popular fashion, and I named it Sabrina "shoulder dress."
