Your guide to 5 iconic fashion buys & the men and women who inspired them

Special edition pen from Montblanc
Inspired by: Greta Garbo, Hollywood actress (1905-1926)

She was one of the most gorgeous and elusive faces of Hollywood's silent era, making her a sort of enigma. The recluse who said, "I want to be left alone" is the inspiration behind this writing instrument because the brand believes she was the "ultimate fashion and trend icon" as the glossy sepia brochure accompanying each writing set, reveals. The pen's barrel is made of black precious resin, the cap is of cream resin. The clip set has one white Akoya pearl. It comes with platinum plated fittings and the cap ring carries Garbo's signature.u00a0
