CARRE COLLABORATES WITH MARILYN MONROE

William Marshall · Sep 19, 2022

The brand from the city of love, Paris, teams up with the bold and the beautiful Marilyn Monroe, in a streetwear inspired collection for the ages! In line with the upcoming release of the Netflix Original 'Blonde'.

Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson; June 1, 1926 – August 4, 1962) was an American actress, singer, and model. Famous for playing comedic "blonde bombshell" characters, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s, as well as an emblem of the era's sexual revolution.

She was a top-billed actress for a decade, and her films grossed $200 million (equivalent to $2 billion in 2021) by the time of her death in 1962.

Long after her death, Monroe remains a major icon of pop culture. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked her sixth on their list of the greatest female screen legends from the Golden Age of Hollywood. In 2009, The Guardian named her one of the best actors never to have received an Academy Award nomination.
