TRAVILLA
(1920-1990) William Travilla began his career as a designer working in the movies during the 1940s. As a costume designer, he is probably remembered most for the designs he did for Marilyn Monroe, including the "subway grate" dress from The Seven Year Itch.
In the early 1950s he began his own label, designing for the public as well as for the stars.
