Scott Fortner on Kardashian & the Monroe Gown | Conversations on Dress | Costume Society of America

In early September of 2022, Costume Society of America hosted on online conversation, “Kardashian, the Monroe Gown, and Caring for Historic Garments.” The lively and informative discussion was led by Graham Wetzbarger, CSA’s Vice President of Technology, who spoke with a very special guest, Scott Fortner, well-known Marilyn Monroe historian and collector. In this excerpt, Scott Fortner gives some historical background on the garment.
