Collector’s Note
This marten collar represents the kind of accessory Marilyn favored during the early years of her stardom. She owned multiple fur collars that she could attach to different pieces, making them versatile additions to her wardrobe. This particular style echoes what she wore on one of the most photographed days of her life.
It was part of her personal collection, something she selected and wore. It was sold at the Christie’s auction in 1999.
