Fashion Lines by Dead Celebrities

Marilyn Monroe's New Collection

Marilyn Monroe is still influencing fashion and is still, decades after her death, considering a style icon. Since some girls like it haute, a new clothing line will be launched under the blonde bombshell's name.

Marilyn Monroe was a style icon in her day and she's still idolized today for her glamorous fashion and styling choices. The line is being created by Blues Clothing in the UK who teamed with Bradford Licensing Associates in America, a company that owns around 400 original photos of Marilyn Monroe.

The fashion line will be sold under Marilyn's name and targeted to teen girls and young women.
