The "he" Kendall is referring to is Matthew M. Williams: the creative director of Givenchy. He, also appearing in the Vogue interview, commented that he used Audrey as an inspiration to emphasize, "that connection between French coture and American culture." He definitely succeeded. This moden twist on the fashion in the film icon cannot be missed.

The high sparky neckline, the slim sillouette of the dress, and even the updo make Jenner the My Fair Lady of the modern day. While Hepburn's dresses were slightly less revealing, style icon Kendall Jenner has once again allowed Audrey Hepburn to be immortalized in fashion.
