A Paper Doll Tribute to Marilyn Monroe

To mark Marilyn Monroe’s 100th birthday, Tasmania-based artist Kelly Smith has reinterpreted one of Hollywood’s most enduring figures in a new paper doll book published by Smith Street Books.

'Style Icons: Marilyn Monroe' celebrates Monroe’s lasting influence on screen and style, presenting a press-out paper mannequin accompanied by a series of meticulously illustrated outfits inspired by her most recognisable looks.

From the billowing white halter dress of The Seven Year Itch to the shimmering pink gown of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, each ensemble reflects the glamour and theatricality that defined her public image, as well as the designers who shaped it.

Rendered with Kelly's characteristic attention to detail and softness of line, the book becomes both a portrait and an archive.
