Vogue UK reported that the fashion house of Christian Dior and the Weinstein film company have collaborated on a new photography exhibition title “picturing Marilyn” was dedicated to Marilyn Monroe’s life. Located in New York’s Milk Gallery, there featured over 60 images of Monroe from some very well known photographers ( a lot of the images have never been posted public). The exhibition showed Monroe’s transformation from a teenager to one of Hollywood’s all-time most glamorous screen icons. The show only opened for 2 days (between November 10 – 12), and the whole intention was to honor Weinstein’s new film “My Week With Marilyn” – due in UK cinemas Friday November 25.
These photographs were shot on the beach by Andre De Dienes.
Monroe’s innocence & intelligent & sexual features all shows within the lens of the photographers.
Highlights of the exhibition included the famous photographer Bert Stern’s photo of Monroe. A black Dior gown, shot for Vogue magazine, taken six weeks before Monroe’s death in 1962. The dress was recreated especially for the display.
He also shot Monroe’s final portraits, a series known as ‘The Last Sitting’, in 1962. Here are some of the original photos of Marilyn posing in “The Last Sitting”:
Someone asked Monroe, ‘When you go to sleep what do you have on?’ She said, ‘The only thing I have on when I go to sleep is the radio.’ – That’s our Marilyn Monroe. Innocent, intelligent and sexual, all in one!
