Le Cool



exhibition Audrey & Marilyn
The exhibition as well as celebrating the 80th birthday of Audrey Hepburn also presents the New York Photographer, Sam Shaw’s collection of the ‘other’ woman who became an icon in 20th century, Marilyn Monroe. This one-off exhibition celebrates Hollywood’s leading ladies in a way rarely seen and includes never-before-seen shots of both actresses. The infamous subway grate shot of Marilyn for the film ‘The Seven Year Itch’ is among the gems displayed alongside behind- the-scenes and personal photographs of both women taken from the Sam Shaw Archive. The exhibition pays homage to the women and recognises their individual contribution to the arts, fashion and culture and how their signature styles have reached beyond Hollywood and even inspired America’s First Lady. / Sophie Khan
