A Green Jersey Top & Deep Purple Velvet Pants

Le maillot vert en jersey & le pantalon violet en velours
A Green Jersey Top & Deep Purple Velvet Pants

mm_dress-gpb_ensemble-mm_travilla-1 

Cet ensemble est composé d'un maillot vert en jersey à longues manches et au décolleté croisé, d'un pantalon bleu/violet foncé en velours et d'une ceinture en soie de couleur lavande pâle. Il a été conçu par le créateur et couturier de la 20th Century Fox, William "Billy" Travilla pour le film Gentlemen prefer blondes (Les hommes préfèrent les blondes) tourné en 1952.

Marilyn Monroe fit deux essais de tests costumes avec cette tenue: d'abord, le 12 novembre 1952, elle pose seule devant l'ardoise indiquant les notions liées à la tenue dans le film (le rôle, la scène, le nom du couturier, la date). Elle accessoirise la tenue avec des boucles d'oreilles (de couleur vert émeraudes foncées telles qu'on les découvre dans le film), un collier et un bracelet au poignet gauche (qui sont de même couleur que les boucles d'oreilles). Elle porte des sandales noires croisées et ouvertes aux pieds.
Puis, le 17 décembre 1952, elle prend la pose à côté du couturier Travilla (qui tient dans sa main l'esquisse de la tenue) et qui réajuste le maillot. La coiffure de Marilyn est plus fluide, et elle porte les mêmes accessoires, excepté le bracelet remplacé par une bague à la main gauche.

C'est une tenue qui se veut décontractée tout en restant chic: Marilyn la porte dans une scène où son personnage, Lorelei, une chanteuse de Music Hall qui embarque sur un paquebot avec sa partenaire Dorothy (Jane Russell), se retrouve dans sa cabine en pleine discussion avec le riche (et imposteur) Piggy puis avec Dorothy. Les deux chanteuses ne sont pas en représentation et la scène les représente dans un moment de journée ordinaire (sur un paquebot certes, mais dans leur cabine). [> la scène du film sur le blog: voir les captures, les photos et sur le tournage ]. C'est pourquoi on retrouve le côté "casual" dans le top qui se veut court et malgré tout moulant, tout comme le pantalon qui retombe tout en fluidité sur les pieds; et le côté "chic" par les matières (jersey, velours) et la ceinture de soie. On retrouve les bijoux portés aux tests de costumes et il semblerait qu'il s'agisse d'une parure avec les mêmes pierres de même couleur: les boucles d'oreilles, le collier, le bracelet (au poignet gauche) et la bague (à la main droite).

Marilyn posera dans cette tenue pour une série de photographies sous l'objectif de John Florea, servant de clichés publicitaires au film; mais pour ces poses ironiques -où elle joue aux cartes avec des billets de banque- elle a changé les bijoux: elle a ôté le collier, le bracelet, la bague et porte de grandes boucles blanches pendantes aux oreilles:

Il semble indéniable que Travilla se soit fortement inspiré de cette tenue présentée dans le magazine américain Vogue de avril 1952 où dans les pages de mode, on voit cette mannequin portant une tenue similaire (le top est plus près du corps et moins fluide que celui de Marilyn, et le décolleté n'est pas croisé; le pantalon en velours et la ceinture semblent avoir été repris à l'identique. Tout comme l'idée des bijoux -différents que ceux portés par Marilyn, mais en nombre), le tout dans un esprit ethnique / bohème chic:

Jane Russell, la partenaire de Marilyn, portera le top vert dans la suite de "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" tournée en 1955 -"Gentlemen marry brunettes" ("Les hommes épousent les brunes") réalisé par Richard Sale- la ceinture est mauve et le pantalon est un corsaire noir satiné:

Description: Ce livre est dédié à la mémoire de Marilyn Monroe. Bien que l'histoire de Marilyn remonte maintenant à une trentaine d'années, le rayonnement de sa beauté et l'extravagance de son allure sont plus captivants, plus époustouflants que jamais. les illustrations de ce livre en sont la preuve même et donnent raison à postériori à Arthur Miller qui disait: "Le soleil semblait terne à côté de Marilyn" ou "elle était le reproche vivant à toute l'indifférence." Cet album contient 152 photographies réalisées par presque quarante photographes dans les années 1945 à 1962 et l"interview que Marilyn accorda à Georges Belmont en 1960.

Mon Avis en Bref...  10/10
Je possède ce livre depuis que je suis enfant (je devais avoir 10 ans et il fut mon deuxième livre sur Marilyn) et honnêtement, il reste l'un de mes préférés, et sans doute l'un des livres de Marilyn que j'ai le plus consulté ! C'est avant tout un livre de photographies, reproduites dans une excellente qualité, beaucoup sont en pleine page (une photo par page, voir même en double page) et toutes sont légendées, apportant des informations sur le contexte photographique (
nom du photographe, date, lieu, événement, lien avec la carrière et/ou vie de Marilyn), et le plus important, il n'y a aucune erreur de dates ni de faits. Les photographies reproduites concernent uniquement la carrière de Marilyn: dès l'année 1945 où elle fit ses premières photos professionnelles en tant que mannequin, jusqu'en 1962, les photos de Bert Stern; vous ne trouverez donc aucun cliché de sa vie privée ni de son enfance, pas de photos intimes ni de paparazzis, mais des photos prises en studio, sur les tournages de films, en public comme lors de conférence de presse etc...
Les autres avantages de ce livre sont d'abord, la reproduction de l'interview complète de Marilyn donnée à G. Belmont où elle parle d'elle-même, de sa vision de la vie, de son enfance; c'est l'une des interviews les plus touchantes qu'elle ait donné dans sa carrière. Ensuite, la biographie en fin de livre revient sur les moments clés de la vie de Marilyn par dates et événements importants. Enfin, la préface de Jane Russell, très attendrissante envers Marilyn qu'elle a connu jeune, avant qu'elle ne devienne star.
Donc, en résumé, je conseille vivement ce livre qui reste un incontournable: d'un côté, si vous n'êtes pas fan de Marilyn mais que vous l'appréciez, vous apprendrez à la connaître davantage grâce à ce livre; et d'un autre côté, je pense que tout fan de Marilyn se doit d'avoir ce livre dans sa bibliothèque.

Lot 161: Travilla “subway dress” costume design for The Seven Year Itch. (TCF, 1955)
In this landmark film from the mid-1950s, Tom Ewell reprises his Broadway role as a husband whose wife goes on a brief vacation with their children. He remains behind in New York on business, alone for the first time in seven years of marriage, and begins fantasizing about a model who has sublet the apartment above. Marilyn Monroe plays The Girl with her characteristic mix of innocence and sexual allure. The Seven Year Itch storyline, unlike some of Monroe’s earlier films, held forth no promise as a costume showcase. It was not a period piece and she had no dance routines. Still, this was to become the vehicle for Travilla’s most famous dress design. It was a deceptively simple dress, classic but sexy, and it was meant to make Monroe look cool on the hot, sticky sidewalks of New York. “I’m going to have my precious baby standing over a grate,” Travilla remembered. “I wanted her to look fresh
and clean. So I wondered what could I do with this most beautiful girl that Marilyn was to play to make her look clean, talcum-powdered and adorable,” Travilla mused. “What would I give her to wear that would blow in the breeze and be fun and pretty? I knew there would be a wind blowing so that would require a skirt.” In his trademark painterly style, Travilla then drew his visualization of what would become the most famous garment in Hollywood history – a white crepe bias-cut dress with a halter-top and sunburst pleated skirt. Accomplished in gouache and ink on a 15 in. x 20 in. sheet of artist’s illustration board, the sketch features the now-famous skirt billowing around her waist, in the scene that would electrify audiences all over the world and reportedly bring an abrupt end to Marilyn’s celebrated marriage to slugger Joe Dimaggio.
Giving the actress a broad smile, Travilla positioned her left arm delicately across her body, while her hand holds up the skirt in a playful tease. The sketch is signed boldly at the lower right of the image in black ink, “Travilla”, with notation at the upper right corner in dark graphite, “7 Year Itch – Wind Scene at Subway”. When she stood over the subway grate and a blast of air caused her pleated skirt to swirl above her waist, Monroe made Hollywood history. Travilla’s contribution was almost forgotten, although he often mused in private about the fame of The Dress. “Here’s how famous it was,” he said. “We were traveling in London to promote the Littlewoods catalog in the 1970s, and my copy of the dress was on display along with millions of dollars in jewelry.” There was a break-in at the show, but the only item stolen was The Dress (which was later anonymously returned). This sketch perfectly embodies the many competing themes of American life during the conservative 1950s, all of which seemed to converge in this film and in this dress at the very moment Marilyn paused over the Subway grate: the responsibilities of modern life as represented by Tom Ewell’s character, the growing independence of American women, and the changing attitude of the country towards
sex and desire, which would culminate in the sexual revolution of the 1960s just a few years away. The crown jewel of Travilla’s Lost Collection, this sketch is not only a wonderful piece of Hollywood history, but an important snapshot of American popular culture from the apex of Marilyn Monroe’s meteoric film career.

Lot 764: Jane Russell extremely limited #1 of an intended run of up to 4 hand and footprint impressions from the Chinese Theatre.
The glitter and glamour of Hollywood continue to attract visitors from all over the world, and there is no monument to Hollywood that is more glamorous or iconic than TCL Chinese Theatre. The forecourt of the theatre remains a must-see spot for tourists and the star-struck to see how they fill the shoes of their favorite stars by placing their own feet in the celebrity footprints that mosaic the courtyard. This is a replica of the hand and footprint square of Jane Russell created from the original concrete impression at the Chinese Theatre when she placed her hand and footprints in the cement along with Marilyn Monroe for the west coast premiere of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.  Rumor has it that Both Jane and Marilyn wanted to make more than just hand and foot print impressions in the forecourt and that they actually wanted to imprint the physical attributes that they were both known for. Theatre management turned down this request though as it would have been considered too risqué. Measuring 37.25 x 41 in. Inscribed, “Jane Russell 6 26 53” and then “Gentleman” as the beginning of the Gentlemen Prefer Blondes title which begins on her square and ends on Monroe’s. The impression is made out of a synthetic casting compound to produce the real look and feel of concrete and does include natural materials that are found in cement.  However, this is sensitive to heat and like all valuable art, it should not be kept in high heat or be displayed in the exterior direct heat/sunlight. This piece is the first of an extremely limited intended run of up to four impressions. No rights to the Jane Russell name, signature or imprint are transferred to the buyer with this sale. Special shipping arrangements will apply.
Estimate: $4,000 - $6,000
Sold: $4,000

Lot 765: Marilyn Monroe extremely limited #1 of an intended run of up to 4 hand and footprint impressions from the Chinese Theatre.
The glitter and glamour of Hollywood continue to attract visitors from all over the world, and there is no monument to Hollywood that is more glamorous or iconic than TCL Chinese Theatre. The forecourt of the theatre remains a must-see spot for tourists and the star-struck to see how they fill the shoes of their favorite stars by placing their own feet in the celebrity footprints that mosaic the courtyard. This is a replica of the hand and footprint square of Marilyn Monroe created from the original concrete impression at the Chinese Theatre which is, by far, the most photographed imprint square in the TCL Chinese Theatre forecourt, honored with the opening of her film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. She originally wanted them to dot the “I” in her name with a diamond, but theatre management suggested that someone would steal the diamond and suggested an earring be placed instead. A short time later someone over night came along and attempted to steal the earring. The top broke off, but the back remains firmly implanted in the cement to this day. 42.5 x 42.25 in. Inscribed, “Marilyn Monroe” and then “Prefer Blondes” as half of the Gentlemen Prefer Blondes title started on Jane Russell’s square and finished on Monroe’s. Marilyn’s “I” is dotted by a faux diamond imbedded in the square. The impression is made out of a synthetic casting compound to produce the real look and feel of concrete and does include natural materials that are found in cement.  However, this is sensitive to heat and like all valuable art, it should not be kept in high heat or be displayed in the exterior direct heat/sunlight. This piece is the first of an extremely limited intended run of up to four impressions. No rights to the Marilyn Monroe name, signature or imprint are transferred to the buyer with this sale. Special shipping arrangements will apply.
Estimate: $4,000 - $6,000

>> Bonus Infos

  • Cette chanson populaire a été composée par Herbert Stothart et Harry Ruby, avec des paroles de Bert Kalmar, pour le film musical Good Boy, en 1928, interprétée par Helen Kane, une actrice et chanteuse qui inspirera la création du personnage de Betty Boop. Helen Kane sera connue sous le nom de la 'Boop-Boop-a-Doop Girl' à cause de sa manière de parler comme un bébé, et par les onomatopées de la chanson. Helen Kane enregistra cette chanson au moment où sa popularité atteignit son maximum.

  • Deux ans plus tard, en 1930, le personnage de dessin-animé Betty Boop fera son apparition. Et Betty Boop chantera la chanson dans le film d'animation The Romance of Betty Boop dans les années 1980s (> vidéo à découvrir sur youtube ).
  • La version la plus connue reste celle interprétée par Marilyn Monroe. Et la chanson est la plus célèbre du répertoire musical de Marilyn.
  • Devenue un standard du jazz, la chanson a aussi été enregistrée par Jack Lemmon, Frank Sinatra, Miss Miller and The Chipettes, Rhonda Towns, Rose Murphy, Tina Louise, Verka Serduchka, Patricia Kaas, Sinéad O'Connor, Annette Hanshaw, Shiina Ringo, Paul Manchin, Lorraine Allan, Eddy Murphy. L'actrice américaine Rue McClanahan en interpréta une version humoristique dans la sitcom The Golden Girls.
    Jane Russell va la chanter en duo avec Jeanne Crain en 1955 dans deux scènes du film "Gentlemen marry brunettes" ("Les hommes épousent les brunes"), la suite de "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes":

Dressing - Robe sweat rayée noire et blanche de Walter Bass

Robe sweat à rayures noires et blanches sans manches
Sleeveless black and white striped sweatshirt dress

dress_sweater_striped-by_walter_bass-1954-baron-01 

On ne connait qu'une seule séance photos où Marilyn Monroe porte cette robe, qui est une création du couturier Walter Bass: pendant l'été 1954 où Marilyn pose dans une villa de Palm Springs sous l'objectif du photographe Ted Baron.

Cette robe ample, au col roulé et aux rayures noires et blanches, est à la fois moderne et classique. C'est une robe sportswear que Marilyn portait quand elle voulait être décontractée. Elle la porte tantôt avec une petite ceinture noire, tantôt sans.

- Robe avec la ceinture -
- Dress with belt -

Only one photo shoot where Marilyn Monroe wore this dress is known, which was created by fashion designer Walter Bass: during the summer of 1954 when Marilyn posed in a villa in Palm Springs by photographer Ted Baron.

This loose dress, with a turtleneck and black and white stripes, is both modern and classic. It's a sportswear dress that Marilyn wore when she wanted to be relaxed. She wears it sometimes with a small black belt, sometimes without.

On retrouve la robe portée par une concurrente copie de Marilyn: l'actrice Jayne Mansfield, qui a porté la robe à de nombreuses reprises, toujours avec une ceinture pour marquer sa taille.
The dress is found worn by a competing copy of Marilyn: the actress Jayne Mansfield, who has worn the dress many times, always with a belt to mark her waist.

Jayne participe à une tournée avec l'humoriste et comédien Bob Hope pour remonter le moral des troupes US postés sur place. D'ailleurs, un peu comme l'avait aussi fait Marilyn en se produisant sur scène en Corée en février 1954.
- In winter 1957, the Christmas "USO Tour" in Japan -

La robe est aussi portée par une 'copine' de Marilyn: l'actrice Jane Russell (sa partenaire du film "Les Hommes préfèrent les blondes"), à sa descente d'avion de Mexico le 06 avril 1955 avec les acteurs Clark Gable et Robert Ryan pour y tourner le film "Les Implacables".

The dress is also worn by a 'friend' of Marilyn: the actress Jane Russell (her partner in the movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"), when she got off the plane from Mexico City on April 06, 1955 with the actors Clark Gable and Robert Ryan to shoot the movie "The Tall Men" there.
