The top highlights of the auction event will be three costumes worn in the Hollywood screen legend's biggest films – Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, There's No Business Like Show Business and River of No Return – as well as her signature style black cocktail dress likely worn to the 1958 press conference for her blockbuster film, Some Like It Hot . This glamourous collection of 115 items also includes a wide array of artifacts from her personal life and will all be sold at no reserve. It was also announced that these four outfits will be on view in London at The May Fair for a month from September 24th to October 21st before making its way to the U.S. for its exhibition and auction in Beverly Hills. In Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (20th Century Fox) – the 1953 musical comedy movie that would catapult Monroe to super stardom and iconic status as a Hollywood sex symbol – Monroe plays Lorelei Lee, a showgirl who travels to Paris while pursued by a hired detective as well as other wishful paramours and admirers. In the spectacular opening of the film where she and co-star Jane Russell (as "Dorothy Shaw" wearing an identical outfit) sing, "Two Little Girls from Little Rock," Monroe wears this stunning floor length, red silk, long sleeved sequined dress (photo right). The iconic costume together with the matching dramatic red headdress is estimated at $60,000 –$80,000. PAGE 2 Julien’s Auctions | 8630 Hayden Place, Culver City, California 90232 | Phone: 310-836-1818 | Fax: 310-836-1818 © 2003-2019 Julien’s Auctions PROPERTY FROM THE LIFE AND CAREER OF MARILYN MONROE PRESS RELEASE Another unforgettable costume on offer is this extravagant three-piece ensemble designed by master couturier, William Travilla, from Irving Berlin's There's No Business Like Show Business (20th Century Fox, 1954), estimated at $60,000-$80,000. The show stopping piece (photo right) was worn by the star who plays "Vicky Parker" during the saucy "Heat Wave" song and dance number. It consists of a daring black silk bandeau top adorned with sequins and dangly bead-balls and a hot pink and black silk sequined scarf that drapes over the left shoulder; a black floral print, decorated floor-length skirt lined with six layers of hot pink silk ruffles, accompanied by a black silk bikini- style bottom brief; and a classic, over-sized straw hat painted white with added orange silk flowers. The racy costume was met with controversy, including husband Joe DiMaggio, who allegedly refused to be photographed with his wife wearing the costume on the set. A design sketch of the costume in gouache and pencil signed by Travilla is also on offer (estimate $3,000-$5,000). A bright yellow silk, floor-length period gown worn (photo left) by Monroe as "Kay Weston" in the final scene of the 1954 drama, River of No Return (20th Century Fox), co-starring Robert Mitchum, where she sings the theme song of the film's same title comes to auction. This beautiful ensemble, estimated at $60,000-$80,000, was originally designed by costumier Helen Rose for Betty Grable in the 1943 Fox film Coney Island . A decade later, red beading and a back bow were added by William Travilla for Monroe's use, as part of this lineage of Hollywood history. Debbie Reynolds bought this gown directly from Twentieth Century Fox during their "pre-sale" prior to their 1971 auction which came on the heels of the bigger 1970 MGM auction, where Reynolds famously bought a huge amount of Golden Era Hollywood costumes.

Other auction highlights include: • a black silk jersey fabric with a gold and black "lace" print bathing suit worn by Monroe in the 1951 film, Let's Make It Legal (20th Century Fox) (estimate: $10,000 - $20,000); • an Italian-style carved wood ornate corner chair used by the star in her final photo shoot in July 1962 with Life magazine (estimate: $8,000 - $10,000); • a mint green jersey silk Emilio Pucci top and skirt ensemble (estimate: $6,000 - $8,000); • plus, numerous personal artifacts including a handwritten letter circa 1955 to the men of the Thule Air Base in Greenland; • a check written out to Mr. M.

    Jane Russell

    The Original Bombshell: A Tribute to Jane Russell By Katie Sirles SPECIAL FOR FILMS FOR TWO© My Path and My Detours Jane Russell with a copy of her memoir (1995) Photo Credit: Schnatmeyer/picture-alliance/dpa/NewsCom Jane Russell began making waves in the film industry the moment she entered it. She signed a seven-year contract with Howard Hughes who immediately wanted to show off his newest gem. He did so in a way that would go down in cinematic history. By showcasing the buxom figure of this 5-foot 7-inch woman, he lit a fire under Hollywood censorship. His first film starring Jane Russell, The Outlaw, was completed in 1941 but did not show to the public until 1943. Howard Hughes had Jane in revealing outfits throughout the film and the Hollywood censors would only okay a limited release in 1943. The film finally had a general release in 1946. Between making The Outlaw and its general release, Russell made a name for herself in Hollywood. Born Ernestine Jane Geraldine Russell in Bemidji, Minnesota, Russell died in Santa Maria, California due to respiratory failure. Russell married three times. Her first husband was Bob Waterfield. The two adopted three children together, but divorced in 1968. Her second husband was Roger Barrett. They met in Chicago, Illinois when they worked together in a stage show called Here Today. They married shortly after meeting in 1968. Barrett died of a heart attack later that year. Russell was quoted as saying “Everybody tells me to 'stay busy.' He was only 47 and strong as an ox.

When, where and how their interaction and origin is begun? There should be no glamor and red carpet when The Lumière brothers short films like Workers leaving the Lumière factory, The Gardener, Baby’s Breakfast on the birth of cinema in 1895. However, we notice that artificially costumes are tailor-made for A Trip to the Moon in Georges Méliès and D. W. Griffith’s Intolerance. Suddenly, it adds the aesthetical and modernist elements into the blood of cinema beside the raw-realism of how the daily life of the common people is represented on the silver screen. Some kinds of bourgeois ideology and middle class value is enhanced. It is so unbelievable that some ordinary actress like Mary Pickford transforming into a movie star after beautifully dressing up. Not only the audience feel the power of movie magic but also the fashion magic. This paper explores the different perspective of movie and fashion in terms of fashion and film costumes, movie stars icon, fashion trends influenced by movies, and how fashion designers changes the look of cinema as well, etc. Keywords: ideology, movie images, stardom, fashionability Introduction Cinema is somehow like a showcase of fashion. General audiences are fans of movie stars not just because of their personal charisma, but because of the fashion they wear.

    Garrels 1 The Los Angeles Fashion District: An Industry of Extremes An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Allison Garrels Thesis Adviser Amy Leahy Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 2007 Expected Date of Graduation May 5, 2007 C',' l\ 1 i ---'rL"-'.' . LT) Garrels 2 ~:,){\(., '/' Abstract ~(i~,~'1 The Los Angeles fashion industry has been a driving force in the way America dresses for nearly a century. L.A. has contributed to the nation's fashion movements not only through its lifestyle trendsetting, but also through being one of the United State's top apparel manufacturing centers. While on the surface California boasts affluence and glamour, its less obvious, but equally important, manufacturing industry runs rampant with immigrant workers exploitation. Can a dual-natured industry gain the respect and recognition it takes to be considered an international fashion capital? In order to reach some conclusions, I provide a look at the past and present state of the L.A. fashion district and then discuss what the industry must do in order to reach the status of international fashion capital. Garrels 3 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Dr. Amy Leahy for all of her guidance in advising me through this project. She was exceedingly helpful in the writing and brainstorming process, as well as in checking my paper for technical and formatting errors. Further, I want to thank Dr. Leahy for her inspiration and guidance throughout my Ball State University undergraduate years. I would also like to thank the exciting and ever-changing city of Los Angeles, California for inspiring this research endeavor as well as my future career in the fashion industry.
