Jackie Style

A must-have for any Jackie fan! A lovely coffee table book filled with beautiful photos of Jackie and interesting information.

It's a marvellous read. I know we know everything there is to know about Jackie but reading it is llke visiting an old friend. The comments by those who were close to her fashion-wise are kind and insightful. Go and and do yourself a favour and buy it.

The book on Jackie was in perfect shape and I received it promptly. I have always admired her and have many books about her. I am happy to add "Jackie Style" to my collection. Haven't had time to read it yet but know it will be all I am anticipating it will be.

I was attracted to this book by its feel and the promise of learning more about that certain "something" Jackie radiates. After mentally debating the price, my lust for more Jackie style information won out and I purchased it. It is a substantial book in many ways but weak in others. The beginning of the book is awkward as the author describes what Jackie was thinking after her husband won the Presidency. How could the author know? The authors assumptions immediately made me question the rest of the books authenticity. As I read through the book however, the author changed tactics and began to describe the first lady using research that was factually supported. She discusses Jackie's upbringing, her role as young woman, and beyond. Though most of the information has been written about before, several aspects were elaborated on to add a new twist and make them more interesting. For example, I had read many times about Jackie winning Vogue magazines Prix de Paris competition, but never in the detail Keough gives. There are a number of photographs in the book but unfortunatly the way they are presented lacks impact. Many are black and white, others small for the page, few are new, and in general they don't have the luster that they could. For example, p.182 has a full size, black and white photograph of Jackie with flowers fully covering her face. If this is one of the never seen photographs Keough promises well I can see why. Another page is devoted to a full color photo of Ari Onasis. Since the full color photos of Jackie are few why not make it one of her? Pamela Keoughs previous book Audrey Style had a much better selection of pictures that made an impression! There are also some line sketches of Jackie in a pillbox. The sketch looks more like Anjelica Houston. The information in the book is broad. The author has obviously done alot of research and she relays the information with her fresh perspective. But many readers will wish for more information about Jackie's STYLE not her life history. For those just beginning to read about Jackie this will be a good introduction but to those familiar with her and the books about her this will be a rehash and retelling.

Jackie is so Beautiful inside and out. I love her so much. She is such an amazing person.

Great insight about Jackie . Loved it

The pictures are beautiful, the stories are good and I love this as a coffee table book. My issue is the stories in the book don't always match the pictures!

just starting to read it and fine it to be a great read.

Interesante. Me gustaría tuviera más fotografías.

I had several iconic women to inspire me whilst growing up and Jackie Kennedy was certainly one of them. The others were Margot Fonteyn, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly.

The book was well written with great pictures.The only thing that spoilt it was the appalling contion it arrived in from AWESOME BOOKS it was sold as "used very good condition".This book is a must for all jackie fans.BUT DON'T DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY

Jackie war eine intelligente, schöne und toughe Frau. Ihr Verständnis für ihre Rolle als First Lady, Mutter und Privatperson könnte für viele Frauen in öffentlichen Positionen heute noch maßgebend sein. Die Ingredienzen, die sie dafür gewählt hat, waren genial. Es muss einem nicht alles gefallen, aber in seiner Gesamtwirkung kann man von einem Kunstwerk sprechen. Der Style ist meines Erachtens schwer kopierbar, weil er stark mit ihrer Person verwoben war. Ihre Persönlichkeit, ihr Aussehen, ihr zurückgenommenes Benehmen verschmelzen mit dem Style - das ist fast wie Magie. Ich gebe deswegen keine fünf Sterne, weil das Buch diese Magie nicht erschöpfend spiegelt. Es gibt so wunderbare Bilder von ihr, davon ist wenig zu sehen. Außerdem hätte ich mir eine chronologische Aufarbeitung des Looks gewünscht. Sie hat ja bestimmte Farben, Muster, Frisuren, Schmuck oft symbolhaft gewählt, davon wird in dem Buch überhaupt nicht berichtet. Sehr sehr schade.

Great photos of Jackie's style and a good biography to accompany them.
