Get Marilyn’s elegant look with our edit of the best ladylike pieces.
The 40s were a big hit for Autumn/Winter and are set to stay for Spring/Summer 12.This season however, the Retro Chic trend takes inspiration from both the 40s and 50s, as seen at Louis Vuitton and YSL. But we think that no one quite does this trend as well as Marilyn.
