Watching Mrs John F. Kennedy

Whilst I should be really researching and writing one of my two essays, I find myself being a voyeur of Jackie Bouvier/Kennedy/Onassis instead.
I'm seemingly turning my back on modern icons and looking rose tintedly back to the past as I study Classical Hollywood.
On YouTube there are some great fashion news items but my current faves are the White House tours series by CBS.

  2. I think for me, it was her style after she left the White House that really grabbed my attention (probably because she had a better budget and no longer had to play the dutiful political wife). I owe my addiction to dark glasses and David Webb statement jewelry to her!

  4. I'm sure that sliding backward in time is a natural icon-study occurrence. Mrs. Onassis was a wonderful style icon, and I'd love to hear your impressions of her look/life/etc.

  5. Ah if only she was a film star I'd write an essay on her! It's also true her later style was amazing ( I too owe my sunglass obsession to her amongst others) but equally fashion changed and she was realised from the contricts of duty.
