Article Photos: 50 years later, Marilyn Monroe still influences fashion and beauty


In "Marilyn in Fashion," by Christopher Nickens and George Zeno, the authors quote Marilyn Monroe as having said, "I believe your body should make your clothes look good -- instead of using clothes to make the body conform to what is considered fashionable at the moment, distorted or not. That's why I don't care for 'un-organic clothes' -- clothes that have no relation to the body. Clothes, it seems to me, should have a relationship to the body, not be something distinct from it." The woman with Marilyn Monroe in this photo is Pat Newcomb, her publicist/companion. The man in the photo -- an Antonio Sabato lookalike -- is not identified.
