Version Francaise
This year the History Channel aired "The Kennedys" in a four part series starring the lovely Katie Holmes as the iconic First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy।
It is universally known that this bobbed brunette brought timeless and impeccable fashions to politics and has left a legacy within the White House walls। (Fast forward to First Lady Michelle Obama carrying on the stylish legacy)। Jackie graced thousands of magazine covers and countless books and articles have been written about her. Once being the most sought after photo subject in the world, Jackie may not have been the most beautiful but she had a sense of what worked for her features and body type. It was only natural that when Ralph Leroy designed this dress, he pictured Jackie Kennedy's style transcending from the 1960's into Fall 2011 and gave it the name "Jackie."
The "Jackie" dress from Ralph Leroy's collection is reminiscent of the 1960's (fall is full of sweet nostalgia this year) with it's tweed construction and unexpected pop of crimson silk. (Need I say more? Oh, but I will) Seen all over the runways, red the color of power, gives this dress that edge you won't find in any other traditional tweed piece. This dress is for the powerful career woman with drive flowing in her veins. She has chosen it among her top choices to wear to the office (add a trench coat for those chilly mornings and switch into a blazer at night) but will also be compelled to let her hair down and wear her Jackie to the cocktail party she's been planning her whole season around. Don't be shy to add that touch of red-lipstick. All eyes will be locked on to you!
From the archives of Chanel's
tweed suits, to Jackie Kennedy's pink tweed we could never forget, every woman needs something tweed in their closet. Ralph Leroy knows this fact but pushed it one step further. Adding the luxury of silk cuffs along with a collapsible collar making this dress modern yet heart-beat skipping at the same time.
Just like there is one Jackie Kennedy, there is not another piece you will find this fall like the Jackie dress by Ralph Leroy.
Sizes range from 4-18 and is sensibly priced at 375.00$
