Five Female Fashion Icons of their Day with Olivier Courteaux
March 30 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT
Jackie Kennedy Onassis
By the time her husband had been elected president, Jackie Kennedy had already made her mark as a fashion trendsetter. Her tenure as first lady gave her an international platform, however. Regardless of the situation, she brought sophistication to whatever she wore, and she did so effortlessly. She made a fashion statement whenever she entered a room. With the help of her favorite designers, like Coco Chanel or Christian Dior, she kept reinventing herself through her clothes and remains to this day one of the world’s most influential fashion icons.
