    About this ebook

    Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis is the ultimate American fashion icon. Jay Mulvaney, author of Kennedy Weddings, celebrates her unique style in this lavishly illustrated book.

    JACKIE: The Clothes of Camelot is a richly illustrated history of those magical years when the Kennedys captivated a nation and the world. Her glamour was electric, her style imaginative, and the effect was brilliant. Jacqueline Kennedy's fashions from the White House years, over two hundred outfits, are illustrated with three hundred photographs, in both black and white and color, many previously unpublished or rarely seen. Also included are photographs of jewelry and accessories as well as memorabilia, all exploring the continuing impact of Jackie's fashion sensibility on our culture.

    The range of illustrations and text is broad, including:

    Early Fashion Influences
    The Inauguration Ensembles
    Gowns for State Events
    The Wardrobe for State Visits Abroad
    Private Living and Casual Wear
    French Designers: Haute Couture in the White House
    November 1963
    Mrs. Onassis and the Post-Camelot Years

    JACKIE: The Clothes of Camelot is a striking portrait of an unforgettable fashion legend.

      Good book lots of interesting tidbits but most of the photos are black and white. The whole point of this book is to see the gowns and suits and she wore a LOT of color and it disappointed me quite a bit. Why the editor did not insist on color pics is a mystery so overall, I just can't recommend this book.
