Yes, but young adults conducted themselves as mature women and men, in a way that is not commonly seen today. An 18 year old female looked and acted like a woman.
@@joannejacob1345 She was a woman of high class and she fulfilled the role of first lady admirably 🇺🇸.She was an icon and remains so to this day. All the best from 🇵🇱🕊️🤝
I remember travelling with my Father to Europe when I was about ten and he wore a suit and I had to wear my Sunday best too and I said why? My Father who spoke many languages and had travelled said well because people just treat you better if you dress well so that may be why I opted to work in fashion years later.
I found it very rude and offensive that they were laughing when he said Jackie looked nothing like Mamie Eisenhower and Eleanor Roosevelt, like they're making fun of them. Just because they were not a fashion icon doesn't mean they were not great first ladies. Do you even know how astonishingly amazing and wise Eleanor Roosevelt is, she was the First Lady of the World, she fought so hard for civil rights movements many of which are being taken by people nowadays for granted. She was a pioneer for human rights movement when the time was hard.
Thank You. It is not about beauty it is about the contribution that the first ladies bring to America. I agree they should not compare. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!
Khin Zar Lwin Thein I Eleanor Roosevelt had great great great knowledge and could command a room. she was no fashion icon but she was as captivating as Jackie. maybe Eisenhower however was not well she was a bit crass period She didn't carry herself like a first lady that we would like her to be and as for President Truman's wife Bess Truman she tried to stay in the background. neither one of those two women really measured up to Eleanor or Jackie. each in their own way
I also found that sneer offensive and Hillary Clinton is a workhorse. She is well dressed and does not wish to put attention on it so much- she is very busy.
Fashion and beauty is the topic here .... But if you want to talk politics about Eleanor Roosevelt, do you consider it virtuous for her husband to use tax-payer's money to pay people to do "make work," ie paint crude murals in public spaces, meanwhile trying to convert the U.S. government to tax-and-spend, and then get us into WWII which killed hundreds of thousands of Americans??? Eleanor was a lesbian communist/socialist. She mentored quasi-reporter Martha Gellhorn, wife of writer Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway loved Cuba. Gellhorn, who idolized Eleanor, hated the middle class and "liked to be where everything was being blown up." So I think people were laughing in the video because there are MANY differences between the two ladies, not just their looks.
Since I was eight years old, I adored Jacqueline Kennedy. I started two scrapbooks and cut out every picture that I could find of her. I am well aware that she wore her favorite pink suit many times from different photographs I saw of Jackie around the White House. Especially the one where she is stooped down in the Rose Garden in her pink suit trying to hold John-John on her lap. Whatever became of her pink pillbox hat. Thank you for this wonderful memory and well thought out presentation.
@@isabellavalencia8026 The pink Chez Ninon suit was not lost. It remained at Mrs. Kennedy's mother's house for many years. It is now in the National Archives.
There's nothing to wonder about... Jackie was a society girl who was raised with style, and... she studied in France, what was then the fashion capital of the world. She truly developed her style after meeting Oleg Cassini (who was ITALIAN, by the way), who was totally devoted to her. It's true that her classy style and demeanor were used strategically, because Joe Kennedy thought his son, John Kennedy, was a good candidate for president but rough around the edges.
Cassini was Italian on his maternal side, but Russian on his paternal side. His brother wrote the society column Cholly Knickerbocker prior to and during the Kennedy Administration.
I love it that the JFK inauguration took place on my Dear Mom's 18th birthday. We love her so much, and miss her more! She was certainly thee most classy lady in my life 💛 Rest in eternal paradise Dear Mama!
Her your of the White House was televised in the UK and I was enthralled. I was 11 years when JFK was shot but continued to follow Jacqueline. I think most young people have a style icon. Nowadays it is Riahnon or Lady Gaga. My icons were Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Jean Shrimpton. I still admire them to this day. I didn't think his presentation was so awful. You can practice all you want but if you are not a natural speaker it remains a difficult and nerve wracking experience. An experience that I have gone through many times and I am always pleased to be on the other side of the fence.
I, too, was a young child at that time. Watching Jackie's fashion sense instilled in me a sense of style for me in the future. Mamie needs a price tag hanging from that hat!
I think people who are tasked with public speaking should rehearse. This man's presentation leaves much to be desired. Growing up in Virginia in the sixties and seventies the first lady was my style icon. I love her soft spoken style to this day
This was a very interesting presentation of Mrs Kennedy’s wardrobe. What was her choise to wear as the 1st Lady. And also how she changed to wear another type of clothes after the tragical assasination of the great American President John F. Kennedy. It was interesting to hear, that the American union of garment produsers, made it almost impossible for her to wear. European Couture fashion. Mr Oleg Cassini was an important person during this period of history. Today many stars they wear jeans with holes and so on. Time has changed. One can ask what good style and class-clothing is al about these days? Jackie was one great Lady to remember as a women of quality in all senses. I must say, that a star like Taylor Swift, also has style. So all is not bad nowadays. A great time to remember the time then during the -50th, -60th, -60th, -70th.
Jackie had worn the funeral dress before. Several photos of her in it before the funeral. He didn't do his homework. Very sad how one can act like an expert when they're not.
So the story about her ordering this black mourning dress and getting it in 4 days is a fabrication ?? A lot of what he shows and talks about is interesting, for sure. I do not think he is a professional presenting or lecturer, since towards the end, he coughs profusely and does not even bother to say " excuse me " . So, this person is not a professional, but does seem to have a lot of good information that he is presenting. I have watched countless videos about Jacqueline Kennedy, but never one like this. I did enjoy it, even if it wasn't all exactly historically correct.
For all of those offended by the shallowness of the speaker. The content of the video/speech reflects the title of the video we just clicked to watched. Fashion, in those days and even now, can drive a lot of people's political opinions whether we realize it or not.
Why is the speaker knocking down other women just so he can raise a point that the subject is a fashion icon? The butt of his jokes and comments were also First Ladies and in their own contributed things to their country’s progress
I am a historian by profession, so let's take a step back here. The speaker could have spent a little more time refining his presentation and brought out the fact that Mrs. Eisenhower, Mrs. Truman and Eleanor Roosevelt were much older First Ladies and reflected the times their husbands held office. Mrs. Roosevelt was First Lady during the Great Depression, had she dressed like a fashion plate the backlash would have been so great I guarantee FDR would not have served 4 terms as President. She was a remarkable First Lady, and is my top 3 favorites-Jackie Kennedy being first, then Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, then Mrs. Dolley Madison. Mrs. Truman was Second Lady during much of WWII, becoming First Lady upon the sudden death of FDR. She, along with Mrs. Roosevelt, represented the wartime Home Front support system our fighting men needed-a motherly figure who was making sure the home fires were burning and things were being taken care of at home so their minds were on defeating Fascism and Imperialism (sad how today the former has rooted itself on our own soil-for shame, and we defeated that kind once and we'll do it again on home ground if we have to!). This, too, was a completely different time and mindset, and America needed a very different First Lady. Mrs. Eisenhower provided the psychological stability our troops needed after WWII and the Korean Wars were over-again, a motherly stable figure during a time of incredible economic prosperity, expansion of the middle class, of suburbs, manufacturing jobs, and when Daddy went to work and Mama stayed home and took care of the kids and house and organized bridge parties for other stay-at-home mothers, and of course religious services on Sunday. By the 1960s, America wanted something new-youth, optimism, hope for the future and something a little more daring than the past, most of which were centered around an economic depression and wartime. The Kennedys fit that bill, and they came at a time when we needed them the most. Sadly, that sentiment hasn't lasted, which is why so many look back to this time idyllically, whether right or wrong. JFK did NOT buy the Sunburst pin. Jackie saw that in a shop in London and wanted it desperately because it dated to her favorite period of history-that of French King Louis XIV also known as the Sun King. JFK said no he was not going to buy it for her-so she took some of her real jewelry and had exact copies made in fake jewels, sold the real ones and bought her Sunburst pin. (The exact copies were made in secret, so as not to upset the giver, this was something commonly done by those in society in those days.) "She cleaned up well." Would he say that about a man? Honestly, that comment regarding Mrs. Johnson was uncalled for and very unprofessional. While the focus of the presentation was fashion, Mrs. Kennedy was so much more. Yes, she wore beautiful clothes and amassed a jewelry collection to rival the Crown Jewels. But first and foremost she was highly intelligent, and her work alone in history/historic preservation is what helped set this American citizen on her career, first fostered by family and then others, but Mrs. Kennedy's love for history and the preservation of our built historic sites helped further that passion. There is a reason why I have the Shikler pair of White House portraits of the Kennedys on my parlor wall-Mrs. Kennedy for her hard work in history and historic preservation, and her husband who served during a time of incredible optimism but also societal turmoil we are still grappling with today. We would be much better off today if we accepted one another as equals and focused on increasing our knowledge instead of tearing each other apart and glorifying ignorance, which is ruining our Republic.
Fascinating comments. What’s your source for Jackie having copies made of her good jewelry? As for this presenter’s catty and unprofessional digs regarding less fashionable FLOTUS’, I was also appalled - not only by his classless comments but by his utter lack of historical and cultural context, which you accurately provided. Lastly, JFK wouldn’t recognize his party in its present Marxist state. As a former Dem myself who escaped the leftist plantation 8 years ago, I have no doubt JFK would be sickened to see what’s become of our once great country. And Jackie - who epitomized traditional values - would have been equally at odds with the degradation of our society and culture.
Jacqueline was a classy, elegant and witty lady... I miss her actually... along with her unfortunate yet good husband and the outstanding US President JFK as well. Requiescant in Pace you Both !
@@wendybrooks6154 yes he did. She deserved so much more, she was a good wife to the man and bore him two children. From stories I have read and I don't know if it's true, but there was no reason for the man to stray. Jacqueline enjoyed s*x just as much as her husband did. But she tolerated his s*x addiction, and from other books I've read, the father, Joe, was a rounder himself and spread it around all he could. I have also read Joan Kennedy's biography and she claims that Teddy cheated many times and with many different women. Stories are that the surviving three sons Jack, Robert and Ted all passed women around to each other.
A symbol though. A loveless marriage, separate bedrooms and Jackie being ushered off for reasons of infidelity which she knew why. You can glamorized these two who were a good looking pair but it went deeper than surface of glamor & clothing.
I don't understand the criticism- should she have worn a tie dye t shirt and pajama pants?? She was a source of pride to her husband, and her country- in my opinion- this should be one of the top priorities of a first lady.
The impressive Jacqueline Onassis: Jacqueline Kennedy was a fortune chaser! I will give her credit for being confident and marrying a US Senator ( JFK later become President)! Her second marriage was about fleeing America ( the death of RFK nearly destroyed her)! I am happy that her marriage to Aristotle Onassis gave her back her sanity! His money and security gave her freedom from the Kennedy Family! A legendary woman who led a fascinating and very interesting life!
The JFK funeral suit is the same one Jackie wore to her father's funeral earlier. Compare the photos from the two events. Also, the inaugural coat was light beige, not grayish.
I have visited Indianapolis twice. I did not know about the Museum. Very interesting. Thank you. I have visited the JFK Library in Boston. Some of Mrs. Kennedy are on display.
That was IT. She was young whereas all the former first ladies were grandmotherly types. I would love to give them their youth back and give them designer clothes and they would look good too. Jeez why do they always go overboard. Yeah Jackie watched what Audrey Hepburn wore constantly. Sabrina she wore French creations and was gorgeous. She had youth and beautiful clothes and Jackie watched her but it was not widely reported because they the press wanted Jackie to be an original.
Her mourning suit, in black, the only one she had, was made by Oleg Cassini---NOT Givenchy! This is the very same suit she wore to the John F. Kennedy Jr.christening, it had giant black tassels on the jacket.
lucy rosevelt Sounds horribly un-prepared to me, yes, VERY Distracting.. I turned the damn thing off after only 5 mins! his nasally sickening voice and like you said, that halting speech pattern... DUMB VIDEO!
Don’t know where you got your facts. She had the suit for several years that was worn at the funeral and the dress worn at the Capital Rotunda. The beret she wore belonged to Lee Radzwill and a White House seamstress showed the veil to the beret.
I read that Jackie did not like her wedding dress, but that Joe Sr had chosen it. He picked it out... and she did what want to make waves w/ her new father-in-law.
A lot of his other facts were incorrect, so who knows? Jackie wore the funeral dress before too. He just sounds like he knows what he's talking about, but he doesn't.
"Don't lynch me?" really. Women should take a cue from Jackie and be mindful that a women is at her best when she is a lady that in and of itself is the "stealth" of a women only if she uses her God-given wits and gifts and not see it s a weakness but infused with stealth it is strenght, power and a respected beauty that al men can gladly repsct and appreciate!
She was a young lady when President John F. Kennedy captured Her heart and doing photography of The White House and invited her for Dinner and after follows dating snd Proposals and wedding follows! Her dresses are known Jackie Kennedy Styles.
Jackie was JFK’s pride. Marrying her was the best decision he had ever made in his life. Jackie was very classic, sophisticated, intelligent and very beautiful for his taste. Even up to his grave, Jackie made it sure his funeral was at its best that nobody can ever forget in history. Real brave and courageous woman, that was Jackie.
Well it seemed until the death of third son Patrick she was a symbol to JFK. As beautiful as she was he was not affectionate with her and she allowed his unfaithfulness due to status. That is what those women all did. I am talking about political women not going to name the past First Ladies but include Ethel Kennedy too. Dysfunctional.
Jackie’s clothing , however modern for the early sixties, some look quite dated by now. Just as ms Eisenhower’s did after 8 years after she started her Whitehouse duties. Early 50s were VERY VERY different than the 60s. Let try not to dress shame here and appreciate their personalities, shall we?
One of the biographies on the Kennedys stated that her wedding dress was chosen for her by Old Joe Kennedy, who paid for it. Jackie, as step-daughter, didn't have access to the wealth that HDA's biological children had.
No!!!!! The dress was designed by a black women who was seamstress to wealthy women. They did not publicize the fact that it was a black women because they did not want a backlash.Jackie's mother wanted the flounces and designs that you see on the dress but Jackie wanted am more of a shoulette Needless to say a week before the wedding a flood occured in the basement of the womens home and the bridesmaids dresses were at a loss hence the black seamstress had to come out of pocket for the bridesmaids dresses although Jackie's dress was saved. Even Joh Kennedy after the wedding remarked to her that the design of her dress was a bit much. After that Jackie found her voice and relied on her own instincts of what would work well for her frame and style. Succeed? Yes she did succeed in being a very well-dressed women.
BookLover I said it was reported in one of the biographies I read on the Kennedys (and I've read dozens of them). It was NOT my statement; I was quoting what an author has written.
BookLover - I think she succeeded in a great deal more than just being a fashion icon! She was above all an excellent mother raising her children to be down to earth, patriotic, polite all under horrible circumstances and in the public glare. She succeeded in keeping her own counsel all under horrible circumstances and in the public glare. She succeeded in representing her country abroad. She succeeded in being an inspiration to many young women by showing that one could be classy, intelligent, well dressed, curious, witty, well read, sports oriented, but most of all poised in the best and worst of circumstances. As she was human I am sure of course that she had faults but what an asset she was to this country, and in my own life to always get up and keep going when the chips are down. Her ability to never defend her position or decisions thus remain a private person in an age where spilling your gut is the norm makes her all the more someone to admire.
Jacke Kennedy came from old money, multi generational, before she even met Jack. He came from new money, or one generational wealth. Jackie and her sister Lee were raised by a very wealthy father who always dressed very well. He taught his daughters about clothes and being well dressed.
Her mourning suit, in black, the only one she had, was made by Oleg Cassini---NOT Givenchy! This is the very same suit she wore to the John F. Kennedy Jr.christening, it had giant black tassels on the jacket. The tam hat that she wore during the funeral belonged to Lee Radziwill, and didn't have a veil attached. That dress that is claimed that Jackie didn't wear in the White House years, in fact was worn during the White House years!! It was aqua blue crepe, and she pinned her antique sunburst pin to the bow on the bodice---I think she wore it to Mexico or South America somewhere. Jackie also wore it to the dinnner for the America's Cup in Newport RI in 1962. Who is this guy? He is so wrong on lots of stuff. . .
It seems that there is evidence that the GIVENCHY SUIT was already in her wardrobe . She wore in on several notable occassions and it was a dress and coat
State visit to Paris was in 1961 not '62. The funeral ensemble was from before JFK's Presidency. She wore the black dress to hear him announce his intention to run for President and she also wore the suit JFK Jr.'s baptism. The lavender day dress was also Givenchy. The starburst pin was not a Cartier but instead a piece that she purchased for herself from a London antiques dealer during his Presidency. This speaker does not have his facts straight!!
Too the pillbox hat was a cloth crown--regal (as its male counterpart forerunner the top hat) yet not overly so, to befit the jointress head of state of a democratic republic.
Hillary does not have the fashion sense BUT SHE DEVELOPED HER LOOK SEVERAL TIMES ONCE UPPIN HER LOOK TO PLEASE HER HUSBAND-BECOMING A BLONDE AND IN HER CAMPAIGN SHE JUST LOOKED WELL DRESSED AND STANDARDLY SO WITH VERY NICE JEWELRY BUT SHE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. Hillary is a work horse. Give her credit- she deserves a whole lot.
There was nothing particularly individual about the clothes Jackie wore, they were just a very expensive, high end, reflection of the typical sixties style, that every other young woman wore at the time!
Where did they get the commentator? Whoever picked him should be embarrassed. Most of the time he was catty and condescending. No class. A disservice to his subject as well as his audience.
Lady Bird Johnson ‘cleaned up’ well, was handsome & nice! The speaker doesn’t hold back - handsome meaning looking like a man. Pretty derogatory judging these women solely on their looks. The presentation was on Jackie O’s fashion - not slagging off other women who didn’t compare in fashion and/or looks.
I thought the letters that were not Capitalized seemed as if in a vogue display...Again, I think he should have done the etiquette way and Capitalized.
She wore the fashion of her time, did not define fashion, but made european designs known to the American public. I am amazed she wore COPIES of European fashion houses…
Think about it; even in movies, costumes,and colors are chosen to relay a mood/feeling. In Jackie's time , tv was a new addition to political contests. I would guess that the Kennedy administration wanted to relay new, fresh,contemporary, and hopeful! I think her fashion choices did this beautifully,and the world noticed!!! People still notice today!
Excuse me, but Lady Bird Johnson did NOT have “her inauguration” in 1964. Her husband did. As an historical note, the USA has yet to inaugurate a woman President, something that would have been preferable instead of the chaos we had.
--Well. he doesn't know what he is talking about vis-a-vis the funeral suit as she was photographed in it previously for an official funeral she attended with JFK.
Sandy McLendon should have gone through some training in public speaking and presentation skills. And he would do better to stop using ah, uh and um all the time - so annoying. Also, it was very rude of him and not at all necessary to compare Jackie with Mamie Eisenhower, Pat Nixon and Lady Bird Johnson. They were older and from different generation - making snarky remarks on the way they looked and dressed was just out of order.
I've never met a person yet who was writing a speech and thought "hmmm, I need to insert more 'ums' and 'uhs' in there....". So I try to go easy on people when they do that as I do it myself and it's never anything someone WANTS to do on purpose.
Oleg Cassini was a ctually of Russian descent. the family left Russia because of the Revolution.. Cholly Knickerbocker was his brother. I read his memoirs
What really amazes me about Jackie is that she was so YOUNG as first lady. She did very well.
Yes, but young adults conducted themselves as mature women and men, in a way that is not commonly seen today. An 18 year old female looked and acted like a woman.
Yes was a Lee before she married
she was only 32
Loved Jackie Kennedy! She was gorgeous, poised and intelligent!
She was the epitome of a first lady.She contributed a lot and change a lot.
Yes I agree with you Jackie was a very influential lady that gets a lot of hate on social media as of late.

Jackie learned her "look" from her older cousin, Little Edie Beale! Two of the classiest woman this country ever produced and both of Bouvier blood.
***** You obviously know nothing about the Bouviers!
***** I guess you never heard of the 'Marble Faun"?

I replied to your comment that the Beales would not have anything to be with people like me not in reference to where Jackie learned her style.
***** The significance is that Jerry was NOT of their class and yet they could connect with his spirit!
dlf250 By the way....why have you deleted several of your comments from this dialog? Ashamed of yourself?
Wow! I appreciate your discussion of the "Pink suit". Such good info.

It was very juvenile and rather pathetic.
It was appalling and classless

Jackie saw that in a shop in London and wanted it desperately because it dated to her favorite period of history-that of French King Louis XIV also known as the Sun King. JFK said no he was not going to buy it for her-so she took some of her real jewelry and had exact copies made in fake jewels, sold the real ones and bought her Sunburst pin. (The exact copies were made in secret, so as not to upset the giver, this was something commonly done by those in society in those days.)
"She cleaned up well." Would he say that about a man? Honestly, that comment regarding Mrs. Johnson was uncalled for and very unprofessional.
While the focus of the presentation was fashion, Mrs. Kennedy was so much more. Yes, she wore beautiful clothes and amassed a jewelry collection to rival the Crown Jewels. But first and foremost she was highly intelligent, and her work alone in history/historic preservation is what helped set this American citizen on her career, first fostered by family and then others, but Mrs. Kennedy's love for history and the preservation of our built historic sites helped further that passion. There is a reason why I have the Shikler pair of White House portraits of the Kennedys on my parlor wall-Mrs. Kennedy for her hard work in history and historic preservation, and her husband who served during a time of incredible optimism but also societal turmoil we are still grappling with today.
We would be much better off today if we accepted one another as equals and focused on increasing our knowledge instead of tearing each other apart and glorifying ignorance, which is ruining our Republic.
Fascinating comments. What’s your source for Jackie having copies made of her good jewelry?
As for this presenter’s catty and unprofessional digs regarding less fashionable FLOTUS’, I was also appalled - not only by his classless comments but by his utter lack of historical and cultural context, which you accurately provided.
Lastly, JFK wouldn’t recognize his party in its present Marxist state. As a former Dem myself who escaped the leftist plantation 8 years ago, I have no doubt JFK would be sickened to see what’s become of our once great country. And Jackie - who epitomized traditional values - would have been equally at odds with the degradation of our society and culture.
Jacqueline was a classy, elegant and witty lady...
I miss her actually... along with her unfortunate yet good husband and the outstanding US President JFK as well.
Requiescant in Pace you Both !
Witold W. Banasik she was classy, he was a womanizer! He was amoral!
Sherry Haning So was Jefferson, Franklin and even Martin Luther King jr. What does one's sex life have to do with one's accomplishments.
"actually"
Always class….. Jackie!
Jackie and jack was so beautiful together!......
yacine Zmiri That was no accident, joe Kennedy paid a WHOLE lot of money to buy (and keep) that woman!
@@wendybrooks6154 yes he did. She deserved so much more, she was a good wife to the man and bore him two children. From stories I have read and I don't know if it's true, but there was no reason for the man to stray. Jacqueline enjoyed s*x just as much as her husband did. But she tolerated his s*x addiction, and from other books I've read, the father, Joe, was a rounder himself and spread it around all he could. I have also read Joan Kennedy's biography and she claims that Teddy cheated many times and with many different women. Stories are that the surviving three sons Jack, Robert and Ted all passed women around to each other.
A symbol though. A loveless marriage, separate bedrooms and Jackie being ushered off for reasons of infidelity which she knew why. You can glamorized these two who were a good looking pair but it went deeper than surface of glamor & clothing.
Jackie by no stretch of the imagination is absolutely a gift from God -
I don't understand the criticism- should she have worn a tie dye t shirt and pajama pants?? She was a source of pride to her husband, and her country- in my opinion- this should be one of the top priorities of a first lady.
The impressive Jacqueline Onassis:
Jacqueline Kennedy was a fortune chaser! I will give her credit for being confident and marrying a US Senator ( JFK later become President)!
Her second marriage was about fleeing America ( the death of RFK nearly destroyed her)! I am happy that her marriage to Aristotle Onassis gave her back her sanity!
His money and security gave her freedom from the Kennedy Family! A legendary woman who led a fascinating and very interesting life!
The JFK funeral suit is the same one Jackie wore to her father's funeral earlier. Compare the photos from the two events. Also, the inaugural coat was light beige, not grayish.
I have visited Indianapolis twice. I did not know about the Museum. Very interesting. Thank you. I have visited the JFK Library in Boston. Some of Mrs. Kennedy are on display.
That was IT. She was young whereas all the former first ladies were grandmotherly types. I would love to give them their youth back and give them designer clothes and they would look good too. Jeez why do they always go overboard. Yeah Jackie watched what Audrey Hepburn wore constantly. Sabrina she wore French creations and was gorgeous. She had youth and beautiful clothes and Jackie watched her but it was not widely reported because they the press wanted Jackie to be an original.
Love this video, very informative. Jacqueline Kennedy had a wonderful sense of style 🫶
Une femme charismatique,très élégante et cultivée. Une "grande première dame!
Her mourning suit, in black, the only one she had, was made by Oleg Cassini---NOT Givenchy! This is the very same suit she wore to the John F. Kennedy Jr.christening, it had giant black tassels on the jacket.
I loved when she said they hated everything about me , then love everything
Would have been better with no insults to others.
It was St Matthews in Washington.
Oleg Cassini a "French" designer? He was Russian-Italian.
Yes his heritage was both Russian and Italian, however he was born and raised in Paris making him French .
@@nicolas2970 Tres francais.
This was really cool.
I don't know anything about clothes or fashion but I enjoyed, as JFK said, accompanying Jacqueline Kennedy on this video!
The speakers halting speech pattern is very distracting. Not sure if he's a stutterer or was unprepared.
Agreed
lucy rosevelt Sounds horribly un-prepared to me, yes, VERY Distracting.. I turned the damn thing off after only 5 mins! his nasally sickening voice and like you said, that halting speech pattern... DUMB VIDEO!
To appreciate congrats for mam Jackie...wish always great n keep the honour for all...thx very much n forgiving...🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇🤝🤝🤝🤝🏛️🏛️🏛️🏛️🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🇮🇩🇺🇲🎁🎁🎁🎁
Don’t know where you got your facts. She had the suit for several years that was worn at the funeral and the dress worn at the Capital Rotunda. The beret she wore belonged to Lee Radzwill and a White House seamstress showed the veil to the beret.
wonder where this guy got the story of her ordering and receiving the black dress in 4 days ?
I read that Jackie did not like her wedding dress, but that Joe Sr had chosen it. He picked it out... and she did what want to make waves w/ her new father-in-law.
A lot of his other facts were incorrect, so who knows? Jackie wore the funeral dress before too. He just sounds like he knows what he's talking about, but he doesn't.
Yep, I heard that, too.
"Don't lynch me?" really. Women should take a cue from Jackie and be mindful that a women is at her best when she is a lady that in and of itself is the "stealth" of a women only if she uses her God-given wits and gifts and not see it s a weakness but infused with stealth it is strenght, power and a respected beauty that al men can gladly repsct and appreciate!
What a very beautiful presentation about Jackie's style.
Jackie wore the Givenchy evening gown at Versailles in 1961 not 1962.
Jackie was always beautiful. She was the modern woman of the 60s.
She was a young lady when President John F. Kennedy captured
Her heart and doing photography of
The White House and invited her for
Dinner and after follows dating snd
Proposals and wedding follows! Her dresses are known Jackie
Kennedy Styles.
This is a excellent presentation - thank you!!!!!!
Very interesting thank you for sharing.
She still os the ultimate 1st Lady. ☮️💟☮️💟☮️💟☮️💟☮️💟
So Amazing
Jackie was JFK’s pride. Marrying her was the best decision he had ever made in his life. Jackie was very classic, sophisticated, intelligent and very beautiful for his taste. Even up to his grave, Jackie made it sure his funeral was at its best that nobody can ever forget in history. Real brave and courageous woman, that was Jackie.
Yet, he cheated on her openly, assuming, I would bet, that he was “entitled.” After all, he WAS Joe Kennedy’s son.
Well it seemed until the death of third son Patrick she was a symbol to JFK. As beautiful as she was he was not affectionate with her and she allowed his unfaithfulness due to status. That is what those women all did. I am talking about political women not going to name the past First Ladies but include Ethel Kennedy too. Dysfunctional.
I agree with you , one of JFK's best decisions was marrying Jackie.
Jackie’s clothing , however modern for the early sixties, some look quite dated by now. Just as ms Eisenhower’s did after 8 years after she started her Whitehouse duties. Early 50s were VERY VERY different than the 60s. Let try not to dress shame here and appreciate their personalities, shall we?
I enjoyed this lecture. Thank you.
Amazing Jackie O
Hug , the first john that made the parents flamingo and the ostrich numbers that mature at 40 years old for the tropics of cancer and Capricorn.
The funeral was Nov. 25th. It was 3 days after the assassination.
I could not continue to watch this video after 13 minutes, because of the way the presenter kept smacking his darn lips..
Without her Natural Beauty and her Chrisma... All that you're attributing to Fashon, wouldn't mean anything at all!!!
This is true. I was mesmerized by her as a child
Enjoyed this video 😊
She looked loke a movie star - even better. 💟☮️
This is a great presentation, but it would be made even better if the speaker stopped using "um" so much. It's very off-putting.
Tutorial Jackie Kennedy hair
DivineSimply And that creepy. Licking of his lips. Makes me feel like a wolf following her!
Don't you mean "very very" off-putting?
One of the biographies on the Kennedys stated that her wedding dress was chosen for her by Old Joe Kennedy, who paid for it. Jackie, as step-daughter, didn't have access to the wealth that HDA's biological children had.
I think the designed was picked by her mother and Jacqueline Kennedy never liked the style.
Oh good, I remembered right.
No!!!!! The dress was designed by a black women who was seamstress to wealthy women. They did not publicize the fact that it was a black women because they did not want a backlash.Jackie's mother wanted the flounces and designs that you see on the dress but Jackie wanted am more of a shoulette Needless to say a week before the wedding a flood occured in the basement of the womens home and the bridesmaids dresses were at a loss hence the black seamstress had to come out of pocket for the bridesmaids dresses although Jackie's dress was saved. Even Joh Kennedy after the wedding remarked to her that the design of her dress was a bit much. After that Jackie found her voice and relied on her own instincts of what would work well for her frame and style. Succeed? Yes she did succeed in being a very well-dressed women.
BookLover I said it was reported in one of the biographies I read on the Kennedys (and I've read dozens of them). It was NOT my statement; I was quoting what an author has written.
BookLover - I think she succeeded in a great deal more than just being a fashion icon! She was above all an excellent mother raising her children to be down to earth, patriotic, polite all under horrible circumstances and in the public glare. She succeeded in keeping her own counsel all under horrible circumstances and in the public glare. She succeeded in representing her country abroad. She succeeded in being an inspiration to many young women by showing that one could be classy, intelligent, well dressed, curious, witty, well read, sports oriented, but most of all poised
in the best and worst of circumstances. As she was human I am sure of course that she had faults but what an asset she was to this country, and in my own life to always get up and keep going when the chips are down. Her ability to never defend her position or decisions thus remain a private person in an age where spilling your gut is the norm makes her all the more
someone to admire.
I think Providencia Parades was actually from the Dominican Republic
Jacke Kennedy came from old money, multi generational, before she even met Jack. He came from new money, or one generational wealth. Jackie and her sister Lee were raised by a very wealthy father who always dressed very well. He taught his daughters about clothes and being well dressed.
Her mourning suit, in black, the only one she had, was made by Oleg Cassini---NOT Givenchy! This is the very same suit she wore to the John F. Kennedy Jr.christening, it had giant black tassels on the jacket. The tam hat that she wore during the funeral belonged to Lee Radziwill, and didn't have a veil attached. That dress that is claimed that Jackie didn't wear in the White House years, in fact was worn during the White House years!! It was aqua blue crepe, and she pinned her antique sunburst pin to the bow on the bodice---I think she wore it to Mexico or South America somewhere. Jackie also wore it to the dinnner for the America's Cup in Newport RI in 1962. Who is this guy? He is so wrong on lots of stuff. . .
She wore that blue dress and the diamond broach to the American showing of the Mona Lisa. And Newport.
Mrs Kennedy and Mrs Trump were by far the best dressed 1st ladies this country has ever had!
@Ahmad Hijaz actually Milania is number one followed by Jackie!
where are Carolina Herrera's dresses?
I love this!
A quick fact check. Provi was from the Dominican Republic not from Puerto Rico.... Caribbean islands, different countries!
Wonderful subject. Unfortunately, the gentleman is a poor speaker and the clothing isn't shown to it's best advantage with small b/w photos.
agee. So many black and white photos, when the originals were taken in color. But this is the only video like this that I can find.
It seems that there is evidence that the GIVENCHY SUIT was already in her wardrobe . She wore in on several notable occassions and it was a dress and coat
Love the kitty-catty picture.
Provi was from the Dominican Republic, not Puerto Rico !
What a bad speaker.. loses you after about 10 minutes
State visit to Paris was in 1961 not '62. The funeral ensemble was from before JFK's Presidency. She wore the black dress to hear him announce his intention to run for President and she also wore the suit JFK Jr.'s baptism. The lavender day dress was also Givenchy. The starburst pin was not a Cartier but instead a piece that she purchased for herself from a London antiques dealer during his Presidency. This speaker does not have his facts straight!!
Correct. I too recall the funeral suit from the baptism, and she traded in some other pieces to buy the starburst. JFK was pretty cheap.
Too the pillbox hat was a cloth crown--regal (as its male counterpart forerunner the top hat) yet not overly so, to befit the jointress head of state of a democratic republic.
Hillary does not have the fashion sense BUT SHE DEVELOPED HER LOOK SEVERAL TIMES ONCE UPPIN HER LOOK TO PLEASE HER HUSBAND-BECOMING A BLONDE AND IN HER CAMPAIGN SHE JUST LOOKED WELL DRESSED AND STANDARDLY SO WITH VERY NICE JEWELRY BUT SHE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. Hillary is a work horse. Give her credit- she deserves a whole lot.
CHIQUERIMA VESTIDOS MARAVILHOSOS OUTRA IGUAL CREIO NUNCA MAIS
There was nothing particularly individual about the clothes Jackie wore, they were just a very expensive, high end, reflection of the typical sixties style, that every other young woman wore at the time!
I seems like the pink suit she wore that day in Dallas should be on display somewhere Washington DC I would think, just thinking,
Jackie Kennedy and John F Kennedy Sr are still alive !
looks better than Big Mike
Where did they get the commentator? Whoever picked him should be embarrassed. Most of the time he was catty and condescending. No class. A disservice to his subject as well as his audience.
No one could be Jackie.
No one could be Lady Bird!
They were each two separate women.
Famous in their own right.
Lady Bird Johnson ‘cleaned up’ well, was handsome & nice! The speaker doesn’t hold back - handsome meaning looking like a man. Pretty derogatory judging these women solely on their looks. The presentation was on Jackie O’s fashion - not slagging off other women who didn’t compare in fashion and/or looks.
I thought the letters that were not Capitalized seemed as if in a vogue display...Again, I think he should have done the etiquette way and Capitalized.
She wore the fashion of her time, did not define fashion, but made european designs known to the American public. I am amazed she wore COPIES of European fashion houses…
Think about it; even in movies, costumes,and colors are chosen to relay a mood/feeling. In Jackie's time , tv was a new addition to political contests. I would guess that the Kennedy administration wanted to relay new, fresh,contemporary, and hopeful! I think her fashion choices did this beautifully,and the world noticed!!! People still notice today!
Excuse me, but Lady Bird Johnson did NOT have “her inauguration” in 1964. Her husband did. As an historical note, the USA has yet to inaugurate a woman President, something that would have been preferable instead of the chaos we had.
--Well. he doesn't know what he is talking about vis-a-vis the funeral suit as she was photographed in it previously for an official funeral she attended with JFK.
Sandy McLendon should have gone through some training in public speaking and presentation skills. And he would do better to stop using ah, uh and um all the time - so annoying.
Also, it was very rude of him and not at all necessary to compare Jackie with Mamie Eisenhower, Pat Nixon and Lady Bird Johnson. They were older and from different generation - making snarky remarks on the way they looked and dressed was just out of order.
💙🇺🇸✌️ Yes....Agree. Extremely disturbing the way he was talking and being so disrespectful to others.😔
I've never met a person yet who was writing a speech and thought "hmmm, I need to insert more 'ums' and 'uhs' in there....". So I try to go easy on people when they do that as I do it myself and it's never anything someone WANTS to do on purpose.
This is awesome but painful to listen to this gentleman talk.
Oleg Cassini was a ctually of Russian descent. the family left Russia because of the Revolution.. Cholly Knickerbocker was his brother. I read his memoirs
How could Jackie Kennedy be called anything but alien looking……hey eyes are more far apart than Candice Owens’…lol
