Long blonde hair an iconic red lip and effortless style—all signatures of fashion icon
Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. Carolyn used fashion as her medium. She hadn’t found her voice yet in
front of the camera as Mrs. Kennedy so she let her fashion speak to the world for her. With
her attention to detail strict color palette and unique unidentifiable looks with the brand
labels deliberately removed she was the essence of class—no label would ever define her. She
didn’t choose to abide by the typical patrician standard expected from a woman of her position
who had married into a family dynasty instead she did the unexpected and wore her
revolutionary clothes with aplomb confidence and grace. This book is the ultimate
commemoration of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s style fashion code and the impact she left behind
nearly two decades later. It includes memories and tributes from fashion luminaries including
Graydon Carter Calvin Klein Michael Kors Manolo Blahnik Wes Gordon Tory Burch and Samira
Nasr. Includes Color Images
