Ann Lowe designed Jacqueline Kennedy's wedding dress, but her name was never mentioned in the society pages that gushed over the event. Lowe also designed dresses for major stars and helped shape American couture. Now, a new exhibit is working to make sure her impact is properly remembered. Michelle Miller reports.

That’s my grandmother 😮 I’m so glad there’s finally recognition for this. Nana used to tell stories about Anne lowe all of the time.

@charlesthomas9960 9 месяцев назад

Most beautiful dresses I have ever seen! and I have seen many as I use fashion as inspiration for spaces I create…these master pieces(Anne Lowe creations) are a small reflection of a deep rich beautiful lady. I can connect to you’re admiration and joy in knowing that very beauty and soul runs through your veins! 🌈💚🙏🐞

Her dresses are gorgeous. Just found out about her on National Geographic She was a very talented woman and I know you are proud of her. I hope someone will do a biopic movie of your grandmother . She paved the way for female and black designers.

@justanotherhappyhumanist8832 9 месяцев назад

You can really see the historical influences on so many of her dresses - many of them almost look like they could have been worn in early parts of the 20th century, or in various parts of the 19th century. She had a real knack for taking old styles, yet making them modern - which is not always easy to do. Women must have felt like princesses in her gowns (and I’m sure some were actually princesses). What a talent and visionary. It’s great that her story is finally being told.

@lisamann8521 9 месяцев назад

So many beautiful clothes/gowns that she designed! She was a trail blazer.

@gardenlover9663 9 месяцев назад

Ms Anne Lowe -what a superb talent that is unknown by many until this news piece-love her work, -she was a fashion designer force to be reckoned with-a true original!❤ thank you for sharing her with the world. She deserved this long awaited recognition.🎉

@bbybella9937 8 месяцев назад

She already had recognition when she was alive. In the 60s she went on talk shows talking about her friendship with Jackie and her fashion career, right before she died her designs had their own exhibition in the Met.

@@bbybella9937 Well I was not born in the 60s or 70s, so for a younger generation, it is good we are connecting with her legacy and being made aware of the magnificent talent that she was.

I would love to see a documentary and a movie or series about her life. I think this would be a great story to tell. I've heard of her before, though I think others may not have. So, it is important for this information to be accessible.

@WenD1908 9 месяцев назад

The exhibit was wonderful, the gowns even more beautiful in person. Ann Lowe wasn’t just a dressmaker or a designer, she was a couturier. I wore Amsale (RIP🕊️) for my wedding. Had Ann Lowe been in business, it would’ve been a really tough decision.

@carladasilva9429 9 месяцев назад

I only knew who she was after I started sewing for myself, I was teaching myself to sew in 2021, and I bought all kinds of sewing books, until I read that she sewed Mrs. Kennedy's wedding dress, I was surprised that no one talked about her. How is this possible? 🤷🏽‍♀️

@leedebarros7434 9 месяцев назад

How is this possible really. You really don't know the answer to the question. Think about it what type of society we live in

@tiwantiwaabibiman2603 9 месяцев назад

Because she was Black in ameriKKKa. That's what type of society... Then and now, same ole same ole...

@lazygardens 9 месяцев назад

Being female and black in the 1920s-1960s is part of it. Also, she was making 1-off garments for private clients, not designing a collection that got a public showing every year.

Ann Cole Lowe (December 14, 1898 - February 25, 1981) was an American fashion designer. Best known for designing the ivory silk taffeta wedding dress worn by Jacqueline Bouvier when she married John F. Kennedy in 1953, she was the first African American to become a noted fashion designer. Lowe's designs were popular among upper class women for five decades from the 1920s through the 1960s.

Thank you so much for remembering the talented and gifted coututier ANN LOWE. So many great African Americans pass away in poverty yet they left an amazing historical legacy i.e. Rosa Parks; Mildred Blount (miliner for all of the hats worn in the movie classic Gone with the Wind) architect Benjamin Banneker and many others. I am glad and proud of her amazing legacy.🙏

@oldsoulmermaid1543 9 месяцев назад

Depending on the source, I believe it was reported that Jackie Kennedy did not love her wedding dress and that it was her domineering mother’s choice and Jackie wore it at her insistence. In fact, the wedding was a partly sad occasion for Jackie because her beloved father wasn’t allowed to walk her down the aisle…again at her mother;s insistence. She was given away by her step father instead. The Anne Lowe wedding dress may not have been to Jackie Kennedy’s taste, but it certainly is mine! Her dresses are just stunning 🤩!

@eileenmcdonald1599 9 месяцев назад

I have seen that in many different articles. That as well as Jackie's mother insisting she be walked down the aisle by her stepfather. Not her biological father.

@maryhurst4663 8 месяцев назад

I had read this too, but thought it was JFK’s father who insists she wear this gown.

@bluedancelilly 4 месяца назад

At 2:16 is my mom's dress. She was in a debutante ball in Nebraska in 1961 and Ann Lowe was tapped to design the dress for that year. My mom later gave her dress to a museum in Omaha who then loaned it to the Winterthur for this exhibit. My mom and I went to Winterthur to see her dress and had a personal tour from Elizabeth Way (interviewed here). Such a thrill.

@jae6506 2 месяца назад

What a phenomenal woman! It is so frustrating to think of how many Black ppl did extraordinary things and were ignored solely bcuz of their race. Telling their stories and Saying their names are absolutely necessary. It feels healing to know the legacy of Anne Lowe. May God bless her accomplishments to be shared far and wide from here on out!

@karenokeane6461 9 месяцев назад

It is great to give long-overdue recognition to this very talented designer. As for Mrs. Kennedy's wedding gown: Daughter Caroline stated how her mother loved the designer, but hated the cut of this particular dress.....it was not her style,, as Jackie preferred a sleeker silhouette ,and always compared her wedding dress to a LAMPSHADE!! LOL

@coricori7661 9 месяцев назад

Leave it to Karen, to speak on the negative aspect of her story. So Jackie, didn’t love her replacement gown. (Made in 10 days time. To replace the flood damaged original, also designed by Ms.Lowe.) So what. Its not like she didn’t have another wedding. 🙄

@pamelawing5747 9 месяцев назад

Gorgeous gowns and women looked beautiful in them. My friend and I went to the Dior exhibit at the Louvre a few years ago and the dresses would be beautiful today, as would Ms. Lowes. I look at the style and beauty of these dresses and contrast with the garbage we see today on the red carpet, see through with thong straps hanging out of the top of a skirt and do not forget the ever present nipples. I have no idea what "fashion forward " means these days.

@allwittyknitty 8 месяцев назад

Careful with pronunciation there -- you called her a "courtier" (which is 'broker' at best and 'courtesan' at worst) instead of a "couturier" or dressmaker 😬. Such beautiful work. I wish I could get there in person 😍

@user-vm5ud4xw6n 9 месяцев назад

Extravagant for sure! The one thing a fuss is being raised over is the one thing I don’t care for. All those big rosettes and other embellishments . Bows and anything else added on. So many of the pieces were already stunning in their own right, able to stand without all that stuff. My friends daughter had a gorgeous wedding gown. Her hair was pulled back and for some reason she wore a bow in it the size of 2 human heads. It looked ridiculous. I didn’t say a word. Except that she looked lovely.

@eileenmcdonald1599 9 месяцев назад

Jackie had no choice. It was her mothers decision

@user-kb6xn6ig7k Месяц назад

Was Ann Lowe compensated properly - if at all - for her work by any of these rich society people ?

@rabbit_scribe 8 месяцев назад

Ironically, Jackie Kennedy hated the dress. She wanted something sleek and simple and sophisticated but she gave in to pressure from the Kennedy family for a big, tradition ball gown-style dress.

@maryhurst4663 8 месяцев назад

I read that it was not her first choice, it was JFK’s father who was running the show/wedding.
