When Kim Kardashian appeared at the bottom of the steps at the Met Gala wearing Marilyn Monroe’s famous “Happy Birthday dress” the world was shocked. Curators, conservators, and archivists, however, were appalled. You can now watch “Kardashian, the Monroe Gown, and Caring for Historic Garments” on Costume Society of America’s YouTube page. The lively and informative discussion was led by Graham Wetzbarger, CSA’s Vice President of Technology, who spoke with CSA members and costume professionals Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell, Katherine Hill McIntyre, Kevin L. Jones, Deborah Miller, and Elise Yvonne Rousseau. They were joined by our very special guest Scott Fortner, well-known Marilyn Monroe historian and collector.
