Intimate Audrey is a bespoke exhibition on the life of Hollywood icon Audrey Hepburn as created by her son, Sean Hepburn Ferrer. It celebrates the actress' 90th birthday anniversary. Originally launched in her birth town of Brussels, Belgium, the exhibition made a stop in her home country of the Netherlands (Amsterdam) where she spent the war year. The exhibition includes over 800 photographs, memorabilia, dresses and accessories, as well as her never before seen fashion drawings and humanitarian writings. A series of poignant videos bring each of its chapter to life.
Part of the Intimate Audrey experience in Manila and a unique addition to the execution that was last on display in Amsterdam, is an exclusive tribute called “AUDREY: An Homage from Filipino Fashion.” This section highlights the works of some of the Philippines’ most celebrated designers and how each one of them took inspiration from Audrey Hepburn’s films to documentations of her personal life. It includes works and pieces from Pepito Albert, Ivar Aseron, Vic Barba, Mike Dela Rosa, JC Buendia, Len Cabili, Auggie Cordero, Rhett Eala, Jun Escario, Ben Farrales, Cesar Gaupo, Rajo Laurel, Jojie Lloren, Dennis Lustico, Randy Ortiz, Frederick Peralta, Puey Quiñones, Patrice Ramos-Diaz, Philip Rodriguez, Cary Santiago and National Artists Salvacion Lim-Higgins and Ramon Valera.
Present during the official launch and vernissage in Manila were Audrey’s own son, Sean Hepburn Ferrer and her granddaughter, Emma Hepburn Ferrer. The launch was also attended by SM Supermalls' Sy siblings Tessie and Hans, with the ribbon cutting performed with exhibit organizer Carmina Jacob and first lady Liza Araneta Marcos.
FashX, a fashion trade and licensing company in the Philippines, has partnered with the country’s leading retail chain SM Supermalls, to hold this first-in-Asia exhibition of “Intimate Audrey” at The Museum at S Maison at the Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City from August 1, 2023 to October 29, 2023.
