CBK: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy - A Life in Fashion

Fashion visionary Sunita K. Nair, in her new book 'CBK: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy', chronicles the timeless icon Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's unique contribution to the fashion world. The book is the first of its kind to delve into Carolyn's elegant and distinct style that continues to inspire.

The introduction is written by Gabriela Hearst, the acclaimed designer behind the wardrobe of US First Lady Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Edward Enninful, OBE, Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue, contributes a foreword reflecting on Carolyn's influence in the fashion industry.

Carolyn Bessette Kennedy was more than just a fashion icon with her long blonde hair, signature red lips and seemingly effortless elegance. She communicated through her clothing, a style that spoke louder than words, especially at a time when she was still seeking her place in the public eye as Mrs. Kennedy. Her attention to detail, a carefully selected color palette and her ability to create a unique, personal look without visible brand logos made her a symbol of sophistication. She refused to follow the conventional norms of a woman in her position, married into a famous family. Instead, she chose to lead the way with her innovative clothing choices, exuding confidence and grace.
