Special edition project created for @CRfashionBook #CRFashionBookChina featuring the Hollywood legend @MarilynMonroe styled in @balmain curated by @CarineRoitfeld. These exclusive covers envision how Marilyn may have looked had her cultural heyday occurred today, with cutting edge 3D & CGI technology. As stated before from the beginning @anlestudio @pavonvic “We know this is a daunting task since Marilyn Monroe is such an iconic and beloved figure. We're well aware that we could never fully capture her natural beauty and essence 100 percent; but it has always been our wish to have a chance to work with her. And since we dont know how to build a time machine, this is obviously the next best option for us. Also, it is not so often that you could truly do something that hasn’t been done before in the fashion space”. This project has been a long and meticulous process. From its first conception to the release today, it is about 8 months or so. Our team of talented CGI artists at @nowopentv created Marilyn in 3D based on countess images of her in different angles and facial expressions. Every skin pores and textures were created from scratch. Then, we adapted the 3d face onto each fashion image of our body-double talent. After that, we individually molded the 3d face into specific expression that matches camera angle and lighting set ups of our body-double images; and finally we blended everything together in post production process. We want to thank our dedicated team and everyone who played a part in making this happen. @elliotfoote @Amethyst @weareauthentic @CRfashionBook Icon: @MarilynMonroe Project Curator: @carineroitfeld CR President: @vladimirrestoinroitfeld Photographer: @anlestudio @nowopentv NowOpenTV Creative Directors: @pavonvic @anlestudio Marilyn Monroe Estate Creative Director: #JimGibb Executive Production: @nowopentv 3D/CGI/Post-Production: @nowopentv Project Director: @elliottfoote Fashion Director: @gaultier_comme_jeanpaul Makeup: @FulviaFarolfi Hair: @hairbyOrlandoPita Colorist: @rachel_bodt Manicurist: @jinsoonchoi Set Design: @stocktonhall Real-World Styling Model: @victoriouskonig Casting Body Double & Extras: @199xcasting
