It was one of the great fashion partnerships of all time. Her, a Belgian-born movie star with an impeccable eye for style. He, a French designer with unrivaled sense of fit and elegance. What they shared was a desire to honor the classics and take risks when they could in proportion or pattern, color or cut. It's a partnership that spanned decades and defined both of their careers. In honor of Hubert de Givenchy's passing, we look back at their most exquisite achievements.
