Marilyn Monroe on a Stroll
Located in Austin, TX
Stellar candid shot of Marilyn Monroe out on a stroll. Her legacy is way more than curves and a blonde bob. Fifty years after her death, Marilyn Monroe remains a luminescent movie star and legendary sex symbol. But she also had an enduring impact on the fashion world. Marilyn created timeless, unforgettable looks during the 1950s, an era of Peter Pan collars, poodle skirts, and repressed sexuality. Marilyn's ability to spot up-and-coming designers made her a fashion visionary. Before they were household names, she wore Italian styled pumps, carried LV bags, and donned the designs of Norman Norell, Emilio Pucci, and Lanvin. On film, Marilyn was dressed exquisitely by Oscar-winning designers Jean Louis, Orry...
