Montblanc Muses pairs the Maison’s deep heritage of writing culture with the stories of strong and fearless women who have left their mark on the world. Actress and activist Elizabeth Taylor is the latest “muse” to be celebrated with a special edition writing instrument. She invented modern-day celebrity and is widely regarded as one of the most iconic and influential women of the 20th century. Known for her independent spirit, remarkable beauty, and unwavering compassion, she inspired generations both on and off screen. Whether acting in films as the quintessential leading lady in movies like Cleopatra and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, forcing the world to recognize the AIDS pandemic, growing her monumental fragrance business, or dominating media headlines with her incredible romances and dramatic private life, she always lived by her own rules and she did it all with confidence and grace.
The overall design of the new Montblanc Muses Elizabeth Taylor Special Edition is inspired by the aesthetics of the 1950s and 1960s, the period in which Elizabeth reached her acting zenith in Hollywood. The shape evokes an original Montblanc writing instrument from this same period. Achieved using a special lacquering technique, the cap and barrel are covered with a dark-violet marbleised lacquer in homage to Elizabeth Taylor’s stunning eyes, and the star’s favourite colour.
The Muses Elizabeth Taylor Special Edition by Montblanc is already available at the brand store on Line 1, GUM.
