Description
"Marilyn est sans doute l'une des icônes les plus admirées et les plus influentes du XXe siècle - titre de gloire qu'elle ne partage qu'avec Audrey Hepburn - sur le plan de la mode et du style qu'elle a essentiellement contribué à libérer. Malgré la sophistication de son apparence, il y a en elle quelque chose d'informel - comme si elle venait juste de sortir du lit et d'enfiler une robe - qui s'oppose à la rigidité des années 1940. Ce peut être une boucle de cheveux qui roule au-dessus des yeux, une bretelle qui glisse de l'épaule, ou encore, l'absence de tout bas et sous-vêtements - rien ne semble prémédité même si, bien sûr, tout l'est. Quelques années plus tard, Brigitte Bardot portera cette nonchalance un peu plus loin. Toutefois, c'est Marilyn qui propulsera la société vers l'ère de la libération sexuelle" - David Wills.
