Timeless icons – Jacqueline Kennedy

Hello dears,

let’s continue the “Timeless-icons” series with one of my absolute favourites, for her innate elegance, sophisticated sense of style, dignified poise. 
She was..
First lady of the United States, editor. 
She is remembered for her contributions to the arts and preservation of historic architecture, her style, elegance, and grace. 
Her style as a first lady 
The “Jackie” look consisted of: 
– pastel-colored knee-length cleansuits 
– three-quarter sleeves on notch-collar jackets 
– sleeveless A-line dresses 
– above-the-elbow gloves 
– low-heel pumps 
– pillbox hats. 
Though her favourite designer was Oleg Cassini, she also wore ensembles by Chanel, Givenchy, and Dior.

Her style after the White House
Her new outfits featured wide-leg pantsuits, large lapel jackets, gypsy skirts, silk Hermès head scarves and large, round, dark sunglasses. She often chose to wear brighter colors and patterns and even began wearing jeans in public.

Did you know that… 
– she had a penchant for exquisite jewelry, designed especially for her by Kenneth Jay Lane, Jean Schlumberger, Van Cleef & Arpels 
– during her first year in the White House, Kennedy spent $45,446 more on fashion than the $100,000 annual salary her husband earned as president. – beltless, white jeans with a black turtleneck pulled down over the hips was a fashion trend that she set.
Enjoy this selection of pictures, I’ll be looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
With love, Coco
