Illustrated volume celebrating the 40th anniversary of Jacqueline Kennedy's emergence as America's First Lady and exploring her enduring global influence on style and fashion.  Inscribed on the half title, "For Joanne and Paul / with thanks and best wishes / Caroline Kennedy." Hardcover in pristine dj, including approximately 150 full color and 150 black and white illustrations, 198 pages. Very fine condition. An interesting association copy from the library of Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman, widely regarded as one of the most fashionable men in history.

Stunning catalog of some of Jacqueline Kennedy's most important dresses as worn during her years as first lady of the United States. As visually sleek and elegant as Mrs. Kennedy herself, the book offers a beautiful analysis of the stunning, simple outfits that typified the Jackie style and brought a breath of sleek modernity to the White House after the somewhat frumpy fussiness of previous first lady Bess Truman. Released to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Kennedy's "emergence" as a style icon, the book presents an eclectic selection of suits, evening dresses, daywear, and accessories from the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum collection. Divided into cities where each item was first worn, the gowns, suits, and dresses are first presented alone in a full-page color photo. Each is then accompanied by various photos of Jackie wearing the item and detailed design notes, history, and anecdotes behind the outfit.
