Norma Jeane, 1926 – 1962

Norma Jeane Mortenson was the real name of this beautiful woman; Marilyn Monroe is the name of the broken doll they turned her into.

We are not here to retell her story. Instead, we’d like her to be remembered as she is in this picture: a radiant, smiling woman who was born into a time when society lacked the courage and understanding to confront challenges that many women still face today.

Norma is the name of our signature dress, a name by which we choose to remember her – free from chains, blonde, yes, explosive, also, but dignified and truly happy.

We love all of you.
