      FOREWORD

      WITH STYLE TO SPARE

      America’s First Lady for a little more than 1,000 days, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis remains a fashion muse whose influence knows no borders—even 25 years after her passing

      THE INFLUENCER Photographers jockey for angles as Jackie Kennedy and Italian socialite Marella Agnelli stroll in the Amalfi Coast resort of Ravello in 1962.

      AS SECRET MISSIONS GO, it may have been the American government’s most fabulous. In September 1962, Cecil Stoughton, the official White House photographer, was summoned by the First Lady’s social secretary and given orders to pack his 35mm camera and travel to New York City to shoot a fashion show at the poshest boutique on Park Avenue.

      When he arrived, Stoughton was the only man in the room. As he later told fashion historian Pamela Clarke Keogh, author of Jackie Style, he grabbed a seat in front of a mirror, from where he was able to capture both the front and the back of the models’ dresses in a single frame. When he returned to Washington with the film, the wife of the leader of the free world was delighted. A letter soon arrived on White House stationery: "You did the most marvelous and rapid job on the Chez Ninon photos. It was incredible and a help to me. Thank you so very much. Don’t leave us for Harper’s Bazaar! Sincerely, Jacqueline Kennedy."

      To her many admirers it may have seemed that the fashionable Mrs. Kennedy (later the glamorous Jackie O) had claimed her place on the list of world’s best-dressed women, all-star edition, because she was born with an innate sense of style and had the resources to indulge it—both of which are true. But Jackie Kennedy Onassis was also a hard worker and a devoted pupil in matters of style. In prep school and at Vassar, she pored over issues of Vogue. She even won an essay contest to spend half a year as a junior editor for the fashion monthly in Paris. (Her mother nixed the idea.) In the White House she read voraciously about art, furniture and history, studied the clothes in foreign movies and enlisted the advice of legendary fashion editor Diana Vreeland to help her assemble outfits that, thanks to newspapers and the then-new magic of TV, thrilled and inspired the citizens of her country and beyond.

      In the realm of style and fashion Jackie became a world leader in her own right—although she might hate it that we’re still talking about it today, rather than her more erudite contributions
