While he may not be a household name, William Travilla arguably designed the twentieth century’s most famous dress: Marilyn Monroe’s halter dress in The Seven Year Itch.
During Hollywood’s Golden Age, Travilla worked as a costume designer for both Warner Bros & Twentieth-Century Fox, while a budding friendship (and rumored affair) with Monroe led to a fruitful working relationship. Their collaborations include: Monkey Business (1952), Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) & Bus Stop (1956).
In the sixties, Travilla designed the lovely gowns for the cast of Valley of the Dolls (1967). In the following decade, he began to work in television and he created the wardrobes for the series, “Knots Landing” & “Dallas.” Travilla continued to work, dressing the world’s top names in entertainment until his death in 1990.

About a month ago, we teased slightly about an up and coming designer. We are now pleased to present our new Featured Designer, Sukhdeep Kaur.
Danelle B., the designer of the label, holds fast to her beliefs of “universal beauty, self love and compassion” and expresses that in each one of her hand-crafted bracelets made of wrapped fabrics, bows, beads, sequins, rhinestones and buttons.
Each piece is created to be one of a kind and the bracelets, according to the designer, are labors of love, are painstakingly detailed and take several hours to make. Sukhdeep Kaur Designs are a C. Madeleine’s exclusive and can be purchased in store or online.
