More Description Fan Phenomena: Marilyn Monroe situates Marilyn Monroe’s omnipresent continued cultural relevance within the zeitgeist of current popular cultural and looks at the influence she has had on numerous elements of it. Lindsay Lohan, Jayne Mansfield, Drew Barrymore, Anna Nicole Smith, Madonna are just a handful of actresses and singers who have reappropriated, recreated, imitated and emulated her classic aesthetic and images. Marilyn was the quintessential American sex symbol and an influential style icon upon a spectrum of designers including Dolce and Gabbana, Betsey Johnson, and Nike, all of who have named lines of clothing, shoes and accessories after the star. The book explores representations of Marilyn in visual culture looking at the ways she is re-imagined in visual art, whilst also looking at how Marilyn Monroe’s posthumous appearance and image are appropriated in current advertisements.
