MARILYN MONROE

Marilyn Monroe would have turned 85 years old on 1 June.  Perhaps her most famous dresses were those designed by William Travilla with the pleated halter neckline sketches and photos of the icon below so indelible in our memory that just looking at these images I can hear the roar of the subway swooshing up her dress.  Travilla revisited his signature dress through the decades and we have three of them from the late 1970s in black, flame, and white, respectfully.  I can't guarantee you will be immortalized as Ms. Monroe was while wearing her Travilla gowns, but I do think these give Versace and Cavalli a run for the money!  The black and white are satin crepe and the flame is a matte chiffon.  Hello, JLO!
