Small text Count Hubert James Marcel Taffin de Givenchy (pronounced ; born 21 February 1927) is a French fashion designer who founded The House of Givenchy in 1952. He is famous for having designed much of the personal and professional wardrobe of Audrey Hepburn, as well as clothing for clients such as Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. He was named to the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame in 1970. ==Early life== Hubert James Taffin de Givenchy was born on 21 February 1927 in Beauvais, Oise.〔(Hubert de Givenchy: 'It was always my dream to be a dress designer' ), ''The Independent'', 07 June 2010〕〔Connie Roff, (Who's Who: Hubert de Givenchy ), ''Vogue'', 11 November 2011〕 He was the younger son of Lucien Taffin de Givenchy (1888–1930), marquis of Givenchy, and his wife, the former Béatrice ("Sissi") Badin (1888–1976). The Taffin de Givenchy family, which traces its roots to Venice, Italy (the original surname was Taffini), was ennobled in 1713, at which time the head of the family became marquis of Givenchy.〔Jougla VI, 256, numéro 32324.〕 He had an elder brother, Jean-Claude de Givenchy (1925–2009), who inherited the family's marquessate and eventually became the president of Parfums Givenchy. After his father's death from influenza in 1930, he was raised by their mother and maternal grandmother,〔 Marguerite Dieterle Badin (1853–1940), the widow of Jules Badin (1843–1919), an artist who was the owner and director of the historic Gobelins Manufactory and Beauvais tapestry factories. Artistic professions ran in the extended Badin family. Givenchy's maternal great-grandfather, Jules Dieterle, was a set designer who also created designs for the Beauvais factory, including a set of 13 designs for the Elysée Palace. One of his great-great-grandfathers also designed sets for the Paris Opera. He moved to Paris at the age of seventeen, where he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hubert de Givenchy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
