Marge Simpson may not be anyone’s first choice for a fashion model, but thanks to iconic illustrator Alexsandro Palombo, The Simpsons star now models some of the most memorable dresses of the past several decades. From Audrey Hepburn’s famous gown from Breakfast at Tiffany’s to Marilyn Monroe’s white dress and Geri Halliwell’s Union Jack Dress, Palombo has Marge Simpson representing the most memorable moments in fashion history with flair and panache.
Also included in the tribute are shout-outs to Coco Chanel’s tweed suits, Madonna’s cone bra by Jean-Paul Gaultier and the chic blue dress Kate Middleton wore to announce her engagement. Aexsandro Palombo has stated that "Each of these dresses really changed the course of the history of costume…" These dresses and costumes, as much as the woman who wears them here, have left a permanent mark on our society, and especially on how women see and dress themselves.
