Marilyn Monroe's shoes take center stage in new exhibit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
In honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the starlet's death the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum is hosting n nearly unprecedented exhibit of Marilyn Monroe's clothing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], costumes, and,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], of course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], her famous shoes.
The exhibit features more than fifty outfits belonging to the blond bombshell,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], many of them on loan from private collections around the world that have never before been shown to a public audience. The exhibit includes the pink satin gown Monroe famously wore during her famous "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" musical number that was seen in "Gentlemen Prefer Blonds." In fact just about the only iconic Marilyn Monroe dress not shown in the original is the crystal studded nude gown she wore to celebrate President John F. Kennedy's birthday at Madison Square Garden. The gown,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which was so skin tight the actress had to be sewn into it and cut out after her performance, is simply too fragile to be exhibited.
It's hard to imagine anything could upstage these classic film looks that remain such a part of the iconography of Hollywood glamour even today but Marilyn's shoes are as much of a draw as the movie costumes and private articles of clothing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Visitor after visitor to the museum comments on the slender Swarovski crystal encrusted red heels that were custom made for the star by Salvatore Ferragamo himself,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The red stilettos are just one of many of the shoes shown in the exhibit that were custom made for Marilyn Monroe by Salvatore Ferragamo. Her obsession with Ferragamo's shoe designs have been credited with putting the designer on the fashion map. Marilyn,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], more petite than her big onscreen presence let on, stood just a few inches over five feet tall. In her custom Salvatore Ferragamo heels she'd hit five feet seven or higher.
Ferragamo had an obsession of his own- to make his shoes staggeringly beautiful but still comfortable to walk in. After beginning his shoe making career creating looks for the movies he walked away to study anatomy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. After his education Ferragamo came up with an ingenious design mixing wood and metal in his shoe designs for Marilyn Monroe to make extremely thin heels that were light and comfortable to stand in for long periods of time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The exhibit lays to rest at least one persistent myth about Monroe's manufactured look,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. While legend has long stated that Marilyn had her shoes custom made by Ferragamo with one heel shorter than the other to give her a distinctive wiggle walk each shoe in the exhibit shows heels of the exact same length.
A limited edition replica of Marilyn's Salvatore Ferragamo red crystal pumps,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], identical to those the actress wore in "There's no Business Like Show Business,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," have been created in honor of the exhibit. They are available exclusively in the museum's gift shop.
As part of the Marilyn Monroe exhibit the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum has released a new book featuring images of the legendary actress,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], many of them never before published. The book was edited by museum director Stefania Ricci and art critic Sergio Risaliti. It will be available at bookstores on September 25th. The hardcover book is currently up for pre-order online here.
