Snowed in at Tiffany's...

This is what happens when record snowfall hits Charm City...

Upon viewing the Audrey Hepburn classic "Breakfast at Tiffany's" for the millionth time, I was struck (like everyone else with an awareness of fashion) by the timeless elegence of the clothes..

The iconic image above is so much a part of the pop culture landscape that I think I have overlooked how stunning the look actually is. Any high caliber movie star could saunter down the red carpet in one of these elegent Hubert de Givenchy peices and look as relevent as Hepburn did almost 50 years ago....

The silhouetes are simple and the tailoring impeccable, but there is some indefinable element that makes the whole thing feel modern and never fussy. I think back to the way that Holly Golightly throws herself together while dashing off for her weekly visit to Sing Sing. It all comes together effortlessly.. Which is perhaps the key to having that thing known as "style"... never making it look like work.

And how have we overlooked the dashing George Peppard for so long?

His clothes in the film are as spot on as those of Ms. Golightly.... The clean lines, the skinny ties, the trim cardigans... any of these peices (with some slight alterations) would look hip and modern on any fashionable guy from Joseph Gordon-Levitt to Justin Timberlake....

In one early scene in the film, Paul enters the apartment building in a crisp white shirt, thin black tie, and a heather grey cardigan with a deep v-neck and I could imagine my own boyfriend appearing at home in that same look...

If nothing else, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" serves as a reminder that classic good taste NEVER goes out of style...
