In the aftermath of the Met Gala, ire has started to brew forth amongst the fashion archivist community over Kim Kardashian wearing Marilyn Monroe’s iconic “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress.
. In a press release, Ripley’s described the dress as “very heavy:” over 6,000 crystals adorn it, causing the garment to weigh in at around six pounds.
Scaturro’s criticism has been re-posted by Marjolein Koek, the conservator of textiles at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and Madelief Hohé, a fashion curator at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag in the Netherlands. Keren Ben-Horin told The Daily Beast. “It raises a lot of questions about ethics. Sarah raises very important points that this is one of a kind, historical garment that should not leave the museum.
On Tuesday, the Daily Beast reached Joiner—who oversaw Kardashian’s Marilyn Met Gala project—by phone while she sat with the Monroe dress in a sprinter van in Manhattan alongside “a ton of security.”
