Fashion Lines Inspired by Vintage Icons

Victor Carranza Designs ‘House of Monroe'

Victor Carranza is designing a much-anticipated new line of clothing in the spirit of our favorite female icon, Marilyn Monroe. Her sense of style is almost as iconic as the name itself. 

What can we expect from the designs? Hopefully Carranza will stay true to Marilyn’s body, making his designs accessible to women of all sizes. I envision a line that varies from fashionable everyday wear to evening gowns that you could sing to a president in (when is Obama’s birthday?).
