Hepburn's dress builds educational centres in India
Tuesday, February 20, 2007
Heard on the news on the radio how the sale of Audrey Hepburn's iconic black dress from the classic film Breakfast at Tiffany's is to fund 15 new educational centres in India. It was auctioned at Christie's in December for just under £500,000 and proceeds from the sale have gone to Calcutta-based charity City of Joy Aid. What a great concept - and it was quite unexpected as they thought they would only raise c. £70,000.
