Jackie is the GOLD STANDARD when it comes to First Ladies, and other women. Her fashion style is SIMPLE, CLASSIC and ELEGANT!
What about La Dragonne, Hillary Rodham Clinton?
Jackie's wardrobe is timeless. The overall effect is simple. There were no added frills or details. Lines are straight & unadorned. Jackie had a rather odd body almost masculine. She was relatively flat chested, thin, large hands & feet, wide shoulders. The dresses did not draw attention but presented a symmetrical line to the body. The genius lay in the beautiful materials, hair designs, gloves & wraps she often used.
Correct!!!!
Not just elegant , she had a mind like a steel trap . Brilliant and accomplished.
She had a nice figure and knew what colours suited her also. Also that era was just classier and fashion dictates to an extent what is available and considered best to wear.
So many people do not realize that her intelligence was toptier.
JB West the author of Upstairs at the White House said he never met anyone so determined as she was. Never. The Restoration was a monumental work of scholarship, spearheaded by her.
@@DarrylGrantaba Read the new biography "Camera Girl, The life of Jaqueline Bouvier". Well-written.
She is a cultural icon and has left a lasting legacy on American society and the world that rightfully remains celebrated till this day.
More than beauty grace charm she was CURIOUS INTELLIGENT, extremely knowledgable and courageous. Lets give her credit for these more powerful qualities , her achievements. Please.
Have you seen this new social media trend blaming her for her husband’s affairs during his presidency. Very weird behavior and she was a great lady who made significant contributions to American society and the world.
The fashions Jackie wore are just as stylish today. I loved her fashion sense and contributions to our country.
I completely agree!
She was the epitome of sophisticated elegance and a class act. One of the most stunning and intelligent first ladies we've ever had. Her Cassini wardrobe was timeless with many pieces still in vogue today. Great video. 🥰
With deepest respect, *THE* most stunning and intelligent first in our history. Michelle Obama is second.
She put on a fake child's voice....weird. she contributed NOTHING
@@doreekaplan2589 Her’s was a classic mid-century Mid-Atlantic accent, madam. Jealous, more than a bit, considering your own life of absolutely no consequence, perhaps?
You are a gnat, pretending to bludgeon the sun.
Maurice Templeman was married. His wife must have not mind to be sharing her husband. Hey, she is the former First Lady and Icon, who can say no.
Entirely, and wholeheartedly agree!
She always dressed beautifully. Sophisticated royalty.
Jackie; one of the best First Ladies we’ve ever had! Too short of time but heavens, didn’t she get a lot done? Bravo 👏 Jacqueline! They’ll never be another JBK.
I totally agree!❤
I Agree.❤😢
How interesting to Jackie Kennedy and her elegant style through the eyes of Oleg Cassini...he was a genius!
My mom was from florence, Italy, she modeled for Dior in Paris in the 1950's Met my dad from Ireland, married 50 yrs she was a virgin... I grew up in amazing household...my parents never once cursed..cant remember ever having argument either....it was home filled with love....rip mom and dad.
Mrs Kennedy was the epitome of elegance, grace and charm.
And thank you 🙏 so much for keeping this awesome woman’s memory alive.
I miss the style of the sixties, such refined elegance. Everyone seemed to really care how they looked, no matter where they were going. 😉
What a beauty ❤ the definition of elegance.
The most elegant first lady in history.
I love this video! Can you possibly make one about Jackie's style during the Onassis years? Her 70s style was so cool and chic! ❤
Thank you so much! Yes I will!! ❤️
These images have so much emotional impact for me. I was in high school when JFK was elected President and I absolutely idolized Jackie in her role as First Lady. She served her country well with such beauty and grace. She also decided the frumpy furnishings in the White House needed a do over and then she proudly gave a televised tour. When she and JFK took their triumphant European tour (in a day and age when Europe was so distant for most Americans), she caused a sensation wearing some of these very gowns.
Thank you for this lovely look back!
How about a Grace Kelly video?
I like her personality and style!
I admired Jackie Kennedy ! Growing up in the 1960's! She seemed like she had her priorities in order! She was a good mother! Strict yet protective too! She was also an excellent equestrian! 🤗🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇸💙🌊👶👶🐎🐎🐎
She sure did!! Very very true!!💖🙌
@@CulturedElegance Thanks for your kind reply! Special Education teacher 37 years/ now Retired! 31 years at the Preschool level! 🥰🌲🌄🌲🐈⬛🐈🐈🌊💙🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇸
JBK, changed the way women dressed.
I’ve just discovered your channel, and I’m loving it. I lived in Boston and Cambridge for my working career-John Jr was a regular sight jogging along Memorial Drive, and Caroline was frequent customer at Darwin’s Coffee on Mt Auburn Street when daughter Rose was at Harvard. The “Clothes of Camelot” exhibition at the JFK Presidential Library and Museum was jaw-dropping-I visited three times!
Thank you!! Oh my goodness how amazing! I loved reading your comment!!
Compliments on your writing. It is thoughtful, insightful, impeccable and insightful. Very much like a stunning couture dress.
May You Rest In Peace, Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy. The couple is so sweet and lovely ❤You will forever be loved. I love my name, Jacqueline!
🙏💖🌷🌷🌷🙏💖🌷🌷🌷
She was so elegant, classy & beautiful.
Jackie wardrobe is just gorgeous.😊
She wore some amazing fashions, many can stillbe worn today!.
Hello, my dear friend, greetings to you. 🥰 Hope this year brings a great opportunity to your way, I pray that may the Joy of the Lord fill your household. I pray for Love, Peace, Joy, and Happiness to your way. Friendship is all I ask, am John Patrick from 🌍 Nashville Tennessee, where are you from; if I may ask?
Beauty, grace and charme, exactly.❤️❤️❤️
Oleg Cassini had a stunning lady for whom he designed iconic timeless fashion. He took into account her dignity, beauty, classic taste, personality. Our First Lady set the fashion world ablaze. A very first for the USA.
Classic, timeless yet sophisticated in a playful way, Oleg Cassini and Jackie Kennedy ❤❤❤
It was a shame we had black and white TV as her clothes were so colorful and pretty.
She was one of the most chick and elegant women as First Lady. Really a secret arm to JFK
Jackie, a symbol of elegance, beauty and savoir-faire.
I think the only criticism I heard of Jackie was that she married Onassis. Her.mission with the White House was to bring it back to the state of beauty it deserved. She went into the country's storehouse or storehouses of past presidents, closing the best things possible. She cajoled friends and family into donation items of beauty to the furnishing of the White House. I just wish I had Bern able to tour it with my mother and grandmother who would have been able to truly appreciate her work.
She was more than the elegant lady in elegant clothing.
Such an amazing Lady!!❤
I never thought Jackie was beautiful but she was definitely one classy and elegant lady.
Timeless beauty, style and class.
She had all God given abilities and without Him she would have had nothing.All praise goes to God!
Excellent video. How about the elegant woman that Cassini was actually engaged to: Grace Kelly. Her parents broke it up.
How about the beautiful woman he married - Gene Tierney.
@@gccleve1 Also a great idea.
She was always so elegant and classy. She could make a t-shirt and jeans look stunning.
Oleg Cassini wrote in his old age " I always thought I was in love with Jackie only recently I realized I was in love with Jack."
Love this! Thank you for your comment
Such beautiful fashions and fabrics. She always looked so elegant.
I was a teenage girl in the sixties and I adored her hair styles, her clothes. She was beautiful and seemed to know how to be a warm, polite and loving person. I will never forget she and John, her son and daughter. Felt so sorry for the death of Patrick (baby). I grieved so much when JFK died in such a terrible, horrible way. Watched every tv
coverage there was and cried thru it all. Terrible time for the country.🌹🍀
All of her hats were custom made for her by Halston.
I read Olegs book. Very interesting.... she was the epitome of feminity and gracefulness. ❤
Oleg Cassini led quite the glamorous life. Born into Russian nobility, married to Gene Tierney, engaged to Grace Kelly and Jackie Kennedy’s “Secretary of Style.”
Thank you so much for sharing!❤
Nice !! 💯 ........... That Laugh Doesn't Die !! .... Amen ........
Ladies, we need to ditch the big white athletic shoes, and the long teenaged tresses.
Agree! Forgo the big white athletic shoes, short (think gray helmet) hair, and stone washed “mom” jeans! No matter the age , you can dress w/class and style w/o spending $$$.
Jackie was so elegant--so was JFK
She, Jackie, is timeless!
Wonderful vid! I was lucky to see many of her clothes at a exhibit in Chicago many years ago. Loved it!
Really terrific choices of images
Jackie loved French clothes so much, but she ended up wearing clothes from America at her time of the white house of her husband's presidential term.
WHAT A LOVELY STYLE 🙂 I have seen her Gown Collection in Washington DC.... I believe 2004 or 2005...very pretty
Wonderful memories.💔🧡
Yes I think so, very intelligent lady elegant style! I admired her very much.
Wow!! Love this
Half of looking this good is looking like you always look this good.
Love this music! ❤
I have always loved her style. Her look is just as classy today as 60 years ago. I loved her monochromatic look.
The only negative to this well-researched video is that it is narrated by a young female, which detracts from Oleg Cassini especially every time she says "I".
The young female is me! The one who has done all the research and put the whole thing together! Jackie truly did have a wonderful look!
@@CulturedElegance Congratulations! I just got confused when I heard your voice speaking as Oleg.
Definitely a fashion icon
I always thought that the stiffness and structure of her Oleg Cassini era garments were like armor. Not so much feminine as protective, although she was very feminine and soft looking herself.
Simple and unique❤
What a classy First lady!!Simple elegance. , classic and beautyful..❤
She was always smiled . She must be confident and optimistic
Rest in peace lovely lady. 🙏
She was an unbelievable woman who was the best First Lady in American history!
Thank You Soo Much
FAITH for your
Beautifuly Created +
Articulated Tribute !

Wunderschöne Kleidung

having lived in the bahamas i am shocked Oleg found any supplies 🤣
Thanks thanks thanks for bringns this 🌠in thos Day.the lord blesnes to her were shi is💐💐💐💐💐💐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🦋🦋🦋🦋
Aaah Camelot, those were the days
These designs slay today . Angelina Jolie wears clothing reminiscent of Jackie's style .
The pink suit with navy blue details and collar the first lady wore was a Chanel suit. There is a roumor saying that Cassini copied Givenchy-garments; in fact, if you researched fr the style of Balenciaga and Givenchy (being always very similar), you would find some concepts of them, f.e. a lean dress with moderately wide skirt an a short, wider Jacket or top above. Last, but not least, there were quite well-known couturiers in the US, at least well known in both Americas: Mainbocher or Charles James, among others.
It wasn't. It was a copy done by a 7th Avenue designer of suits for women!!
Everybody in the Garment District wanted a copy her look.
He was SO smart to tell her no!!
Melania also had the same elegance and taste , however, Jackies era elegance beauty and feminine character was considered a positive attribute
❤❤❤
Did he design the dress she wore to the funeral? I know the royal family keeps mourning clothes with them when traveling in case someone dies (I guess they still do) I assume she also had that on hand for such occasions?
Nunca ha habido, ni habrá una primera dama estadounidense como Jacqueline Kennedy.
What happened to the full video? It seems to have been taken down
An incredible and beautiful lady. Sad there are no pictures with children.
Jackie Kennedy was wonderful lady end everything she's workings excellent in white house all American people love this lady well all family Kennedy until today all aprecian good history end Ejemplo for all ladies fallowing your history God bless have the control for this family
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
She preceeded Diana and she must have delivered inspiration because of the many parallels.
Oleg wanted to marry Grace Kelly .
Oleg also dated +
Almost married GRACE KELLY (54)
But Dad Refused 2 let her marry him
Rainier + Grace got engaged in 55
Less is more. Modesty best. Aunt Grace. Would say 💕👏👏👏👏
NO First Lady had the CLASS she did or was BORN WITH ! NO ONE !!!!
I know the pink suit is in a vault according to her daughter. But does anyone know where her wardrobe from her White House years is now?
She seemed to like solid colors mostly.
💝
Hello, my dear friend, greetings to you. 🥰 Hope this year brings a great opportunity to your way, I pray that may the Joy of the Lord fill your household. I pray for Love, Peace, Joy, and Happiness to your way. Friendship is all I ask, am John Patrick from 🌍 Nashville Tennessee, where are you from; if I may ask?
I was very young when Jackie was a thing. She was just wearing what was in style. It wasn’t groundbreaking. It was just tailored for her by top designers. This is always the case and I’m happy she had the opportunity. I don’t care what people do with their money. Having said that, I’d be impressed if she achieved this by going to Saks and buying off the rack
RIP Jaqui.
The one and only First Lady... imo
Eso de que en Nassau no se podían encontrar lápices con facilidad... Really!
Jackie Kennedy, the Perfect Best First Lady, who would have been a wonderful Candidate for President in 1968; the Kennedy's had to be Stopped.
0:55 there it is. And no mention in the video how many leopards and big cats had to die because she had to have a leopard skin coat. She set the fashion.
One of Ceylon Tamils favorite president is John F Kennedy
Even Ceylon Tamils impose to print Johan F Kennedy stamp I might have one don’t know where it is if I find it I will post it for you
