This book traces the development of Jacqueline Kennedy's unique style as First Lady. Her style was so forward thinking that it echoes today. A must read for those of us who remember what she wore as well as for those who only know her influence through movies or film. An invaluable record of its time.
An unusally well formated ,and documented accounting of Jacqueline Kennedy's desire to appear well but simply dressed as wife of the President.The photos are well done and some of the people who wote brief pieces for the book do offer some insight into her character. The actuzl book was in outstanding condtion,and was very well packaged!
I purchased this book to add to my collection of Jackie Kennedy memorabilia. There were wonderful photos of Jackie’s wardrobe pieces. I will happily go back and look at them many times. I was a little disappointed that there were not more photos of the Kennedys.All in all, an informative book!
Divine gowns!! The photos are detailed and glorious. Such elegance and style. Wonderful examples of the simple elegance and a great peak into history.
From cover to cover this book is jam packed with wonderful photos and insightful text on our iconic First Lady. It certainly is "Camelot" revisited, the likes we shall never see again.
Perfect for lovers of couture and haute couture especially as worn by famous personalities like Jacqueline. The book focuses on selected outfits worn by her, their provenance, with emphasis on American designers like Oleg Cassini, and French designers like Givenchy, amoungst others. The details on each outfit's design, fabric and special features are quite thorough , and the various commentaries also provide very good background information on Jacky's overall style, and how it ultimately influenced trends and fashions during the sixties. A highly recommended book for anyone interested in the evolution of fashion, or the allure of luxurious made-to-measure dressing, as personified by this historical celebrity and socialite.
