On the occasion of Milan Design Week 2026, the brand is dedicating an entire immersive journey through photography, fashion and visual culture to Monroe.

Through the photographic gazes of Bernard of Hollywood, Sam Shaw and Milton H. Greene, the story unfolds from the birth of the star, to the mythical woman and then to the timeless icon.

The path

The exhibition unfolds as a journey between backstage and cinematic imagery, revealing not only the construction of Marilyn's image, but also her lasting impact on contemporary culture and the representation of femininity.

In this dialogue, the brand recognises Marilyn as one of its original muses: the first jeans launched by Guess bore the name 'Marilyn', immediately establishing an identity link with the sex symbol actress.

The exhibition will be open to the public until 24 June 2026 at the MUDEC, Milan.
