Dressing Marilyn: How a Hollywood Icon Was Styled by William Travilla… written by Andrew Hansford. It’s quite a mouthful to say and takes a long time to type but we guarantee it’s worth reading.
Any vintage, style and of course, Marilyn Monroe fan should go and pick this book up when it hits shelves on Thursday 13th October. It features an in-depth look at some of Marilyn’s most iconic dresses made by William Travilla for her movies and the inspiration and story behind them, as well as lots of other little gems.
One aforementioned gem is a hand-written note to William Travilla by the Hollywood icon herself, reading: “Please dress me forever, I love you, Marilyn.”
You’ll be surprised with just how many of Marilyn’s iconic dresses the designer was responsible for… and yes, he was the man behind the classic white halter neck dress that she wore in The Seven Year Itch (above).
