Hopefully that wasn't a real leopard coat she was wearing. It might have belonged to Jackie, who, when she wore one, almost caused the extinction of leopards. Hopefully this site will not glorify endangered species fur as "fashion".
If it was the leopard coat that belonged to Jackie Kennedy, then it was real leopard. Oleg Cassini, who often designed for Jackie, made a the coat made of leopard pelts for his prized client. It caused such a splash that the population of leopards plummeted worldwide to satisfy the demand for the trendy coats. We now live in much more enlightened times when artificial alternatives are available.
I loved her minimalism in the 90s. She would have been horrified at y2k style. Now that I'm in my 40s...I'm trying to lean into her sleek simple style. It's better to invest money into classic pieces then throw monet at microtrends and wild pieces
She had a strange face, a very big nose but you could tell that she knew about fashion as she was a stylist, Jhon saw something in her that made him fall in love.
Years after, because they died she has achieved this over-the-top iconic status because she married well. I do understand the fascination with John, especially for those of us who watched him grow up … perhaps it is only wonderment in why he chose this rather unremarkable person to marry. That is the mystery 🤔.
