CBK: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy

Description

Long blonde hair, an iconic red lip, and effortless style—all signatures of fashion icon Carolyn Bessette Kennedy.

Carolyn used fashion as her medium. She hadn’t found her voice yet in front of the camera as Mrs. Kennedy, so she let her fashion speak to the world for her. With her attention to detail, strict colour palette, and unique, unidentifiable looks with the brand labels deliberately removed, she was the essence of class—no label would ever define her.

She didn’t choose to abide by the typical patrician standard expected from a woman of her position who had married into a family dynasty; instead, she did the unexpected and wore her revolutionary clothes with aplomb, confidence, and grace.

CBK: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy by Sunita Kumar Nair and Sunita Nair explores the life and style of this iconic figure, unraveling how she used fashion as a form of expression and defiance.
