50 years after her death, "Marilyn in Fashion" offers a
fascinating new spin on Monroe history, and a feast for
fashionistas. She was an incandescent movie star, legendary sex
symbol and a woman whose private life fascinated the public - but
the story never before showcased about Marilyn Monroe is her
enduring impact on fashion. From the revealing nude sheath worn to
sing "Happy Birthday" to JFK to the pleated white dress from "The
Seven Year Itch", Marilyn''s looks defied the 1950s era of poodle
skirts and marked her as a fashion icon ahead of her time. "Marilyn
in Fashion" is an informative, entertaining,
exhaustively-researched profile of Monroe''s enduring influence on
the world of fashion, which traces the evolutions of her style,
from wholesome sweetness early in her career, to serious sex kitten
looks in the ''50s, to elegant sophistication in the last years of
her life. Behind-the-scenes stories reveal how the star often
worked closely with designers to create looks befitting her image.
Through out the book, additional insight is offered by quotes from
designers, co-stars and Marilyn herself. Illustrated by hundreds of
rare and never-before-published photos, this one-of-a-kind book
presents the glamorous screen icon at her very best.
