British company launches Icon Dresses collection with nod to Marilyn Monroe, others
Some dresses just live on and on. Think Marilyn Monroe’s white halter from the 1950s. Audrey Hepburn’s little black dress.
Wallis, a British clothing, has tapped into those iconic looks with its Icon Dresses collection inspired by legendary film stars of decades past. Designed and made in Britain, the collection is comprised of five classic silhouettes, each of which channels a different leading lady.
The Icon dresses collection includes a floor-length emerald evening gown inspired by Keira Knightley, yet reminiscent of the 1920s. The British actress often channels the roaring ’20s in her red carpet outfits and likes vintage style.
Old-fashioned glamour is dished up with a two-toned figure-hugging Grace Kelly-inspired dress. The American actress and Princess of Monaco was considered to be one of the most fashionable women of her time.
