About the film:
Roman Holiday is an all-time classic film from 1953 starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. It won 3 academy awards including best actress to Hepburn and best costume design. The film was costumed by top designer Edith Head who worked with top stars of the golden age and received countless praises and awards through her lifetime.
The movie is set in 1950s Rome, Italy. The young and elegant Princess Ann (Hepburn) is on a European tour and is frankly fed up with the constant scheduling. She runs away from her quarters and ends up spending a day in disguise as "Anya Smith" with American reporter Joe Bradley (Peck).
Full of carefree adventure, romance and Italian sightseeing the movie is chuck full of fashion inspiration.

-A full, high waisted skirt hitting slightly below the knee is a current version of the '50s staple.
-A thick belt helps show off the waist, (something Audrey was known for).
