Discovering the dresses that changed the world
The Marilyn Monroe dress – 1955
The bright and bubbly star earned an iconic moment in history thanks to the teaming of a figure-hugging white dress and a breezy subway vent.
The infamous cinematic moment was part of Billy Wilder's 'The Seven Year Itch'. Marilyn's glamour was set to eclipse the name of the designer who made the stunning halterneck, William Travilla, but the dress would remain unforgotten.
