Madonna conjures up Marilyn, yet again
Is Madonna still relevant? Of course, she is!!
Madonna is a pop icon legend and will never go out of style. And V magazine has the photos prove that!!
The Material Girl worked with longtime collaborator Steven Klein for the cover and fashion editorial that paid homage to Marilyn Monroe. Fitting, don’t you think? This fashion editorial looks at the last photoshoot that Monroe did with legendary photographer Bert Stern.
“We were not interested in recreating the images exactly but more importantly, we wanted to explore the relationship between photographer and subject,” Klein tells Jeremy O’Harris, as reported in dailyfrontrow.com. “Both the friendship and the artistic process, and how art can imitate life and vice versa. When I sent Madonna the photos, she was really taken by the incandescent fragility of Marilyn at that moment in her life. We decided to find a hotel suite and try to capture the liaison between a star and the camera, the mystery, and magic of this creative collaboration. We hope we have done justice to the great work of Bert Stern and Marilyn Monroe.”
For this V magazine winter issue, Madonna stars of four different covers. One of the covers features her nude on the bed with nothing on but pearls, fishnets stockings, opera gloves, and Christian Louboutin stilettos. The other three covers feature Madonna teething a strand of pearls, licking a blinged-out necklace—diamonds are a girl’s best friend, after all —and posing in profile in a fur coat, as reported in pagesix.com.
