This is an entertaining and educational book that is about more than the clothes Jackie wore during the time she was the First Lady to President John F. Kennedy (from January 20, 1961 – November 22, 1963). While the profusion of photos documents the fashion of the time – hats, dresses, coats, shoes, gloves, jewelry – the book also illustrates Jackie’s role in the White House. It is a biography, a pictorial history, and a way to discover more about this glamorous but very private woman who became an unforgettable fashion legend.

The informative captions which accompany each photo provide insight into her duties as First Lady and mother, her travels, her friendships, even her relationship with JFK (according to the author’s interpretation). And she was only 31 years old when she and JFK moved into the White House! No matter what she was wearing – all those elegant evening gowns, riding jodhpurs, capris, or even a bathing suit – she projected confidence and style that captivated the nation and the world. ( )

My sister lent me this book saying it was too good not to read. I totally agree. I think of Jackie Kennedy in black and white. Newsreels, interviews, published photos. In this coffee table edition there are many photos in color. I was amazed at what lovely colors Jackie wore. She looked fabulous.
Jackie had a fondness for French designs but being First Lady of America meant she needed to wear American designers creations. Father-in-law Joe Jennedy paid the clothing bills, since the President's salery couldn't cover all the things needed to be a spiffy First Lady. I've been told that a deal was made with Oleg Cassini. He would be her official designer and her wardrobe would be a different take on whatever was fashionable at the time. Change a sleeve length, different buttons, that sort of thing. This idea put both of them on the fashion best of the best lists. ( )
