Nobody else will be able to wear Dresses with Historical value in Events
Kim Kardashian wore an iconic look at the last Met Gala: the sexy dress
that Marilyn Monroe wore in 1962 to sing "Happy Birthday" to John F. Kennedy
at Madison Square Garden. Although she gave a lot to talk about, many people
were totally against the businesswoman using such an iconic and important
piece of Hollywood history for an event like this.
Some
conservative experts on the subject say the dress should never have left the
museum, let alone be worn by anyone else.
And after so much controversy that this generated, the
International Council of Museums (ICOM) announced the prohibition, for the
next events, of celebrities wearing historical dresses.
Although
Monroe's dress has not been altered, wearing the dress has only angered the
most conservative judges in the fashion industry.
Now the International Council of Museums will change its
statutes to prohibit the use of unrecoverable pieces, and confirmed it in a
statement:
“Historical clothing should not be worn by anyone,
neither by public nor private figures. It is better to prevent damage than
to cure. A bad treatment can destroy an object forever,” the organization
said.
In addition, ICOM detailed that the use of the dress was
incorrect because, at the time, Monroe did not wear panties with the dress
to make it appear that she was n-ked, something that Kardashian definitely
did not do, since the dress was custom made for Marilyn in 1962. , not to
mention that the silk with which the piece was made no longer exists, so any
damage to the dress would be irreparable.
