About the Author

Philip Hopman was born the youngest son of a tulip farmer. But he chose a career in children's books instead of tulips, and he has illustrated more than 150 books since 1988, including Earth to Stella (Clarion) and 22 Orphans (Kane/Miller). He lives in the Netherlands.
Industry Reviews
Givenchy's signature designs, including a hot-pink, double-page spread of Hepburn's ubiquitous Breakfast at Tiffany's black dress, leap from Hopman's page with verve and humor. Bursting with color and panache, Hopman's double portrait of Givenchy and Hepburn lovingly captures one of the 20th century's most beautiful friendships.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
This joint biography gives a charming account of their individual ascents to fame and long-lasting friendship...Hopman's watercolors are reminiscent of fashion sketches in their energetic lines and dashes of color.--Julia Smith "Booklist"
