The Dramatis Personae -- Jo Stockton [Funny Face]

While Breakfast at Tiffany's may be Audrey Hepburn's most iconic role to date, that isn't to say it is her most, or only, stylish role. Since I was little, Hepburn's role as Jo Stockton in Funny Face has been my favorite work of hers.

Featuring an every charming Fred Astaire, Funny Face is about bookworm and keeper Jo Stockton, the academic and intellectual with a bone structure and bod for business. After an attack in a fashion magazine office, Jo is flown to Paris where her career in fashion skyrockets. From haute couture, to Parisian beatnik, and brainy bookworn, Jo's wardrobe is as diverse as other, more modern, fashion icons. From the classic trench, to white socks and black cigarette pants, to vibrant green opera gowns, her wardrobe covers it all.

Not only does the film feature fantastic fashion, but a great song and dance styling (with tunes like, "How to be Lovely,"), and my other favorite love-- photography. This is classic film worth watching, whether you're a Hepburn fan or not.


Below is a fan-edited piece of the movie, accompanied by Etta James' "At Last." Though not featuring the delightful music of the film, it does a lovely job of showcasing the many outfits and personaes of Jo Stockton.
