  1. You're presentation was wonderful!! I thought your facts about Hepburn was wonderful! One thing I learned was how big into fashion she was! I guess I only really knew her as an actor but didn't know she was really into fashion. One thing I loved about your presentation was the video clip and also the pictures of her outfits! You three really brought her to life. I also loved that background on your powerpoint. It was very classy and old fashioned and I think that's why I was so attracted to it! I really want to watch a couple movies with her in because after watching the clip, she seems like an excellent actor. I also loved the actors you compared her to. I'm a huge fan of Leonardo DiCaprio and it automatically grabbed my attention. One thing I wish you three would have done was bounce off each other more when your presenting. When you first started out I thought Lydia was going to be the one talking all the time. So it's just a thought to keep in mind when you're presenting in a group. Overall, nice presentation! It was very interesting and absolutely loved it!!

  2. My friend has been in love with the concept of Audrey Hepburn, I'm pretty sure, since she was born. Her whole career and style has been revolved around this single woman, and when I told her about your guys' presentation, she was so excited. You guys did such an awesome job at helping me understanding the reasoning behind my friend's crazy obsession, and I thought your presentation was really educational, but it also was fun because she's such a fashion icon. My favorite part was the quote you guys shared, "I don't bite, you know... Unless it's called for." I thought that was humorous and it seemed to kind of go along with her personality. I really feel like you guys gave an all-around, put-together presentation, but I would've loved to know a little more about her in the sense of her movies and also maybe what specifically drove her to volunteer with the UNICEF campaign. As much as I enjoyed learning about her style and the fashion behind what is Audrey Hepburn, I would've loved to know a little more beyond that. Aside from that, I really enjoyed your guys' presentation :)

  3. I thought your presentation was very interesting to learn about. It was a topic that at first I didnt think I would find interesting, but I thought the three of you did a good job in keeping me interested in the topic. I thought it was interesting that she started the saying "I don't bite" because that saying is still around today. I would have liked to have seen maybe the scene where she said that quote, but overall I thought the presentation was great.

  4. When I first heard that your presentation was about fashion, I lost interest; but as you guys started explaining more about her and the little black dress, I found it interesting. I thought it was cool that women didn't wear pants because they weren't feminine, but Audrey somehow made them work. The only thing I may have changed was that video clip, maybe use something that showed the little black dress, or something of that matter.

  5. I too didn't know that she was involved with helping children around the world and all sorts of other things. That interested me. You guys had lots of information about her, you had modern day comparisons to her, and a video. You could've talked a little more about her involvement in UNICEF, but I think you all did a great job.

  6. I learned a lot about Hepburn in your presentation. It was very informative. I really felt like you guys did the research and knew the facts. I loved how you found ways to relate her to everyone in the audience and the modern day people you compared her to. The one thing that I think could've made it better was adding more information about her life outside of acting and fashion. I wasn't aware there was so much to her. Great presentation!

  7. I don’t know a thing about fashion or anyone in it. I felt like I learned a lot from your presentation and how Hepburn went against the grain and of fashion in those days and wore black pants even though it wasn’t something women did. I felt everyone really knew a lot about the topic and did a good job presenting the information. I would have wanted to know more about her personally but other than that it was a great presentation.

  8. I think it's cool how this person is like three different celebrities in one. I've seen the picture of her in her black dress before, but I never really knew the significance of it until your presentation. I think it's interesting how she has many more talents than just being fashionable. I would have liked to know about her everyday life. I think adding information on how she lived everyday would have made your presentation more complete and well rounded.

  9. I really did not know just how iconic Audrey Hepburn was. Also, I did not think you would be able to keep my attention with this topic, but your continuous flow was very enticing. Your pictures and video clip really put it into perspective. If I had to critique one thing it would be that you had more quotes from her about how she dressed.

  10. I really am facinated at how one person can be so versitile doubling as an actress, fashionista, and humanitarian. I did not know that fashing was such an important part of her career. I was slightly confused about what UNICEF stood for and what her specific role was as far as they were concerned. You guys had a nice video showcasing her acting very well. You all knew your stuff. Good job guys.

  11. I liked how you used many facts in your presentation. You guys really seemed like you did your research. You highlighted her work in UNICEF and the fashion industry very well. I also liked the video to show her acting ability. The only thing I could really critique is the thesis statement. I did not really notice the main point of the presentation. You showed how great she was, but what specifically made her iconic.

  12. I never really pay much attention to fashion icons but this presentation really helped introduce me to one. I liked how the presentation was organized first with what she is well known for and then other works that are not so much recognized. I would have liked to know more about her humanitarian works. good job

  13. I really like your presentation! I knew that Audrey Hepburn is a fashion icon but I never knew that she received a Presidential Medal of Honor or that she worked with UNICEF. I really liked that you used a clip from one of her movies as well, I have never seen any of her movies before but now I really want to. The only criticism that I had was the structure of your presentation. I felt that it would bounce around from her involvement in fashion then to charitable works then back to fashion. I think that if you started out with background information (as well as involvement in charities), then solely moved to fashion, and then movies I think it would have flowed better. Overall you guys did a great job!

  14. I had no idea who Audrey was until your presentation. Those clips you showed us from breakfast at Tiffanys really showed us why she was such a good actor and why she was so iconic. I love to learn new stuff and you guys did a great job teaching me all about her.
