Marilyn Monroe’s on-screen costumes are almost as iconic as her. Think of the hot pink strapless gown she wore to sing “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.” Or the white halter cocktail dress that billowed up over a subway grate in “The Seven Year Itch.”
Instead, Johnson relied on the films themselves, photos in director Andrew Dominik’s 750-page “bible” for the shoot, and a little booklet by William Travilla, the longtime studio costume designer who was responsible for many of Monroe’s most famous film looks.“We couldn’t obviously access the same fabrics, but it was really important to uphold the quality of construction to those original dresses so they didn’t feel like a cheap simulation or like a costume,” Johnson said.
“It’s quite hard to find existing things,” she said. “Vintage clothing is going away. It’s literally evaporating from this planet.”By far the most difficult dress to recreate, however, was the white pleated one immortalized in “The Seven Year Itch,” another Travilla creation. The pleating proved to be enormously complex, in part because there aren’t many places in the United States that specialize in that technique anymore, which requires custom molds.
“It’s so beautifully shot by Chayse Irvin, our amazing cinematographer, and Andrew is such a visionary,” Johnson said. “That is just real dress porn in the movie. There’s amazing slo-mo and you really can luxuriate in the quality of the dress.”
