The company responsible for preserving Marilyn Monroe’s legacy praised Kim Kardashian’s decision to don a movie star dress to the Costume Institute ball on May 2. This has been reported TMZ.
Nick Wodehouse, president of Authentic Brands Group, a branding agency dedicated to preserving the actress’s memory, said he would be delighted to know that Marilyn Monroe’s dress has once again been selected for public reveal.
He added that since he has a lot in common with Marilyn Monroe, there is no one who would suit this dress better than Kim Kardashian. According to him, they are both strong, influential and independent representatives of the entertainment industry who love to appear in front of the camera.
It was revealed that the agency ABG did not represent Kim Kardashian’s interests and the star did not ask her permission to wear the famous dress.
Formerly Michelle Morgan, author of The Girl: Marilyn Monroe, The Seven Year Itch, and the Birth of an Unusual Feminist, published in 2018, criticized Because Kim Kardashian chose to wear the dress on the red carpet: To her, this is a fragile museum piece that must be stored in a certain temperature-controlled environment.
