Collector’s Note
This mink fur collar represents an elegant and frequently worn element of Marilyn Monroe’s personal wardrobe during the mid nineteen fifties. Acquired for use with her custom black wool suit, the collar illustrates Marilyn’s thoughtful approach to dress and her ability to elevate tailored garments through carefully chosen accessories.
Preserved as part of her estate and acquired through the historic 1999 Christie’s auction, this piece offers a direct connection to Marilyn Monroe’s private life. Its repeated appearance in photographs and film footage reflects her personal attachment to the garment and provides meaningful insight into her authentic wardrobe beyond the screen.
