In spite of a troubled childhood, Monroe began her career as a model in her teens and bagged her first movie contract when she was 20. "That's reason enough for a tribute," says Massimiliano Francesconi, country manager, Sicis. "Marilyn was one in millions. She was strong and fearless.
She was a trendsetter, and paved the way for many others like her," he raves. But be ready to pay through your nose if you want to take the seductress home. The works range between Rs 3 lakh and 30 lakh. And that's because size does matter. "The price depends on their sizes. The biggest is 270 x 130 cm," says Francesconi.
And, the lady's going to be touring the country for a while. After Delhi, the show will travel to Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru and finally, Kolkata. Grab her before she's gone.
