I dislike Kim for this, leave a piece of history alone
;(
Dr. Justine De Young, professor of fashion history at the Fashion Institute of Technology, tells PEOPLE that Kardashian’s look was “irresponsible and unnecessary…”
Referencing Kardashian’s comments that she lost 16 pounds in three weeks and cut out sugar and carbs so she could fit into the dress, Dr. Young continues, “Crash-dieting to fit into the original dress is also an unfortunate message to be sending one more in keeping with ideals of the 1960s than today.”
Monroe historian and collector Scott Fortner also tells PEOPLE why Kardashian’s look is “cause for concern.”
“While I understand the appeal of wanting to wear such an iconic gown, it can’t be dismissed or overlooked that anyone other than Marilyn Monroe wearing the famous ‘Happy Birthday Mr. President’ dress might be cause for concern for several reasons,” says Fortner, adding, “The dress was custom-made for Marilyn Monroe. It’s not an off-the-rack garment. It was created by Academy Award-winning designer Jean Louis, who had designed costumes for Marilyn’s final two films: The Misfits and Something’s Got to Give.”
Fortner, who has one of the world’s largest private collections of Monroe’s personal property, says the late actress wanted the dress to be one that was unique to her. “When Marilyn knew she’d be performing at President John F. Kennedy’s birthday gala she contacted Louis and said, 'I want you to design a truly historical dress, a dazzling dress that’s one of a kind.’ She asked that it be a dress that, 'only Marilyn Monroe could wear,’ ” Fortner tells PEOPLE.
“Marilyn stood nude as the fabric for the dress was literally sculpted to her body to precisely match every curve. The fabric, which is a flesh-colored soufflé gauze imported from France, was layered strategically so she wouldn’t need to wear undergarments,” he continues.
Fortner says that Monroe’s dress “fit her perfectly. The gown worn by anyone else will not be a precise fit. In this case, Kim Kardashian’s measurements are somewhat different than Marilyn’s. It’s logically assumed the fabric and seams were stressed.”
Fortner, who witnessed Ripley’s Believe It or Not! buy the dress for $4.81 million in 2016, notes that “the age of the gown” is also an “issue” as Monroe wore it in May 1962, making the piece 60 years old.
