Who cares. Hide a great seamtress and they fix it. Kim had the money and wanted the moment so she went for it, thats life, if someone is wrong is the one that LET HER

DO IT, not Kim wanting to do it.

The revisionist history about Marilyn just because so many people hate Kim is a trip lol "finest and most iconic actresses" she's most known for being hot & rumors about having sex with a president :rip: the same **** yall say about Kim you would have been saying about Marilyn back in the day

Marylin never said bullshit like: "we get up we work out , we are a role model , we don't promote unhealthy/unatainable beauty standards" while having countless surgeries and injections.

I mean they shouldn't have let her wear it in the first place if damage was their concern. What would you expect with her type of body :skull: 

 

Just fix it and stop crying and in the future, maybe don't let anyone else wear it :michael:

I just want to know why people care so much about this piece of fabric. Is it because Kim is involved?:rofl:

Wow there’s a lot of ignorance in this thread. 
Let me repost what bares repeating: 

 

Rosetta Stone, Who cares? It’s a rock

Magna Carta, who cares? It’s paper

Michelangelo’s David, who cares? It’s also just a rock

Mona Lisa?  Dead Sea scrolls? King tuts sarcophagus? 

No. Don’t be flippant on a forum that is dedicated to honoring an art form. 
 

Art is valuable. It’s our only communication with the past and future. It helps tell the story of human life on earth. Fashion is art, and this dress is meaningful in modern American history. It is not comparable to a defaced Hermes, because Marilyn’s dress holds a layered significance. 
 

Kim is no Ai Weiwei. She wore the piece for the very fact of its myth, so to her it is far more than “just a dress”.


Ai Weiwei broke ancient Han pottery as a commentary on the inherent value of “consumer culture”, and as a critique of the fact that the mao regime purposefully destroyed millennia of artifacts in an attempt to rewrite Chinese culture in his totalitarian image. Historical art is powerful enough to terrify histories most powerful people. That’s because art holds within it a unique and irreplaceable heritage. 
 

Kim wore the dress to fulfill her own monstrous narcissism. She doesn’t care to understand the historical or personal meaning that the garment symbolizes. She doesn’t care that Marilyn is said to have asked nobody else wear the dress because it was the only thing in her life that was hers and hers alone. The souffle used to form the dress was fitted to her exact measurements. To Marilyn, this dress symbolized reclamation. The world felt  ownership of her body, her image, her life. So she had a dress made to hug that body, a dress she alone could wear, proof her body was hers. 
 

Souffle is a fabric that degrades quickly. The garment Kim struggled to fit in is 60 year old textile. No more than a touch will forever alter its integrity, someone ill fitted to it sweating, walking, wearing layers of makeup and tanner, and stepping on the hem decades after it has been preserved is going to damage it. Kim is aloof, self obsessed, careless and stupid enough to think this piece of art was no different from a custom catsuit or a graffitied Hermes. Kim is ignorant and entitled, but worst of all she is callously unable to empathize with the woman she claims to idolize. She excitedly accepted a lock of Marilyn’s hair that was robbed from the film stars fresh corpse. Beyond the inherent creepiness, possessing the hair of a dead Jewish woman is extremely offensive to the faith Marilyn converted to. 
 

I’m tired of people insinuating commodity heritage items, art, and artifacts are shallow or lack value. Art is history, art is culture, art is universal. This dress is more valuable than the ego of a sad hollow rich woman who stands for nothing. Art is more valuable than Kim’s existence.
 

Marilyns Happy birthday dress symbolizes a layered and fraught moment in history, it symbolizes an aspect of society we struggle with to this day. It is a symbol of the civilization James Baldwin once dreamed would lead to something better after collapse. 
Kim Kardashian is a billboard. She is a false idol selling insecurity, faux authenticity, and capitalism. She has created nothing, she has never shared an original thought, she is as faceless and toxic as the dollar she worships.

At first I thought that the reaction is exaggerated because the images are very different, like the big seam in the second image is also in the first one just really blurry.

But then I started noticing the missing crystals :deadbanana2:

Ugh,this is Ripleys fault. It should have never been lent out in the first place.

Your big everything knocked them stones out!

Wait, you beat me to it :weeps:

I can’t even be mad at her because they should have never let anyone wear the dress in the first place. Make a replica! But also she knew good and well her ass wasn’t fitting in it and should have used better judgment.

Is the quality of the pictures different or did the dress’ color change too?

So much of this. As a training historian seeing such blatant disregard for historical value just sucks.

We love to see it. :clap3:Fat ***** ate air for 3 weeks and still couldn’t fit into it.

If it’s just a piece of fabric, why did she starve herself for 10 days to squeeze her wide behind it in the first place? The organization was stupid for letting her borrow it and Kim was even dumber for wearing it. She probably got spray tan residue all in that dress.

I think it’s important to note that the person posting about this in the OP is not an employee of the company that currently owns the dress and has no power or say here - they’re just expressing their regret over something they’re passionate about. Ripley Entertainment hasn’t even acknowledged that the damage occurred.

this is so upsetting :monkey: no one should be allowed to wear these kind of pieces

The people saying "it's just a dress" are being deliberately obtuse. Garments can be history pieces with cultural value as well, and this one surely was that. It's not that different from damaging a painting in a museum.

 

She's an idiot but I blame more Ripley's for being sellouts and allowing this to happen. This dress should've never been in their possession

Posted

Nasty but can't expect much from someone who, like said before here, happily accepted stolen remains of a dead woman. 

Posted

***** stole the crystals

Posted

that's expected and whoever decided to lend her that dress is a ******* idiot
