Many did not approve the choice of the founder of SKIMS. For instance Bob Mackiethe designer of the sketch of the dress Jean Louis, who, without half measures, dismissed everything as: “A big mistake.” The fear was that wearing a dress built on the actress’s silhouette could somehow ruin a piece of American history and some photos shared by Pop Culture And Marilyn Monroe Collection, shown a before and after the Me: the dress looks really ruined.
As you can see from the photos there are not only some sagging of the fabric along the back closure but also damage to some of the numerous rhinestones that embellish the mermaid dress with which Marilyn sang “Happy Birthday Mr. President” to John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
Negative comments were unfailing both towards Kim both towards Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!, the museum that owns the dress. If confirmed, for the safety of the dress, therefore, just wearing it for the red carpet would not have been enough – immediately afterwards, in fact, it was replaced with a faithful copy – as well as the care and precautions taken by the museum staff.
Some have commented on the incident comparing it to the destruction of the Gioconda with the diluent, while others ask themselves – with full knowledge of the facts – if all this was worth it … To be talked about at any cost, even risking to destroy a piece of history. Maybe not.
