Features: "Jackie Kennedy captivated people with her unique charm. This girl was both opinionated and strong, and I think it was this very quality that attracted John F. Kennedy." Many times Jackie was like an angel, but she was far from a heartless saint. The Kennedy woman possessed an indescribable allure. She was a symbol of America—full of vitality, optimistic, wise, and passionate about work. She was the most influential woman in fashion that I have ever known in my life. The most striking aspect of this book is its in-depth portrayal of Jackie’s family life and her beloved friends, based on direct interviews with the following individuals: Valentino, Hubert de Givenchy, Manuel, Branick, Oleg Cassini, as well as her close friend C. E. Gust, George Platt, and John Lorent. Family members interviewed include Joan Kennedy, Hugh D. O’Donnell, and John Davies. The book is accompanied by over a hundred rare color and black-and-white photographs, manuscripts, as well as never-before-seen private letters, memoranda, and essays.
