#the kennedys
An Iconic love story with a promising future depicted in the eyes of Rouje Paris in the Style Icon editorial. This campaign is somewhat of a belles-lettres to the “American Love Story” presenting to us a collection inspired by CBK and JFK in with references filled with admiration for the power couple. Casting Hedi Segalen as JFKJR and Mathilda Galmot as Carolyn Bessette the campaign appears to have been shot in Paris, however it perfectly translates the New York-centric spirit of the Kennedys in the 90s also making it almost impossible to distinguish between actual images of the couple and the Style Icon campaign. Needless to say the clothes are to die for, a minimal array of pieces like the Robe Inès (pictured), the Carrie skirt and overcoats like the Marceau, Samuel and Renaud, elongated, flowy, relaxed and belted to perfectly represent the spirit and aura of the Style Icon, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy……. And not to forget the matching JFKJR, which I am sure we can all agree we love!

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there. Say what you want about President Kennedy, but he loved his kids (Caroline “Buttons” and John). Not pictured-Arabella and Patrick
We’re just learning now that President Kennedy’s last surviving sibling, Jean Kennedy Smith, has passed away at the age of 92. Born February 20, 1928 in Boston, she was the second to last child of Joseph and Rose Kennedy. She married Stephen Smith on May 19, 1956. Together they had two sons, Stephen Smith Jr. and William Kennedy Smith, and two adopted daughters, Amanda and Kim. After Stephen died in 1990, Jean was appointed the ambassador to Ireland by President Clinton in 1993, until her retirement in 1998. Like her sister Eunice, Jean was known for her work with disabled children and other people with disabilities. In 2011 she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Obama. In 2016, she wrote her memoir, “The Nine of Us: Growing Up Kennedy.” Jean became the sole surviving Kennedy child after her youngest brother Teddy died in 2009, a few months after their older sister Eunice. She passed away at her home in Manhattan on June 17, 2020.

“I should have guessed that it would be too much to ask to grow old with him and see our children grow up.” There’s something to be said about a father and his son. Everyone talks about what the country lost on November 22, and how he would’ve made a great president. But I think the biggest loss is two young children losing their father. One can’t help but feel moved when they see President Kennedy with his children. Particularly with his son.
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!
They were so adorable Everytime I think how unfair things turned out for them, I’m reminded that she was finally able to reunite with him in the end. And that they were at peace for the last 27 years. [JFK and Jackie reading Portrait of a President by William Manchester, who would later write the controversial Death of a President].
58 years ago, President and Mrs. Kennedy arrived in San Antonio to begin President Kennedy’s critical campaign trip. Upon their arrival in Texas, Mrs. Kennedy was presented with a bouquet of yellow roses. She was presented with more yellow bouquets later on that day. The next day in Dallas, she was presented with red roses. Yellow roses represent joy, cheer, and strong ties of friendship. They can also convey a sense of warmth, gladness, and wish the receiver good luck and a warm welcome. Red roses represent passion, true love, and bliss in a marriage. A combination of both can symbolize celebration, joy, happiness, and compromise.
November 8th, 1960: 60 years ago, Senator John F. Kennedy (D-MA) defeated incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon (R-CA) in a closely contested election. Kennedy carried 303 electoral votes in comparison to Nixon’s 219. Kennedy won the popular vote by approximately 112,827 votes. Kennedy became the youngest man to be elected to the office of POTUS. Extra facts about the 1960 election: it was the first election where the incumbent president (Gen. Eisenhower) was ineligible to run for a third term due to the 22nd amendment ratified in 1951. This was also the first election where all 50 states participated in the election and the last when the District of Columbia did not.
17 days later, FLOTUS designate Jacqueline Kennedy gave birth to their third child and first son, John F. Kennedy Jr.
