Her Beauty Her Style Her Fashion Forwardness Remain Forever with Us & Her Gloves


Jackie Kennedy's iconic brand lives on even today. Her death on May 19, 1994 marked the end of a great era for fashion conscious females. And while Michelle Obama is often referred to in the same breath, the romance of the Camelot Princess remains with us even today.

Her Beauty Her Style Her Fashion Forwardness Remain Forever with Us & Her Gloves

Jackie's beauty, concern for the welfare of her children and her fashion forwardness remain with us forever. The mystique and allure of Jackie extends from female to man and across the continents.
The brand she carefully crafted with the extreme care to her clothing and her jewelry set the stage for the American Camelot royalty. Was she different from everyone else simply because of her position - definitely not. Jackie set the standards for fashion.

Sadly Jackie departed us in 1994, after being diagnosed a year before with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a form of cancer.

Tayler Hartly gives a delightful short history of the "glove" - from mittens and crude coverings simply in the time of Herodus in 440 BC to protect his hands from the bramble in his garden to the refined art of glove making in England and esteemed "glove maker guild".

Function and Fashion for Cold Weather

Her Attention to Detail

visual review of Jackie found not just a savvy fashion model. She walked the talk. Yes, the reports that she refused to be photographed smoking are probably true. But if you look at all the photos in history, you will see a theme. A consistent theme of elegance and refinement.

Her Gloves - From Wedding Day to State Dinners to Equestrian Outings to Funerals

The historical accounts of Jackie andPresident John F. Kennedy are delightful. A visual review of her affinity not just to jewelry but also to gloves was surprising. Note how often shewore gloves - formal affairs of state are expected but look closely and you will see event after event with her gloves!
Perhaps you would say, that was a period of fashion history that was different and others wore gloves too! And part of that is true - but look at thephotos. They speak for themselves.

Take particular note of her black gloves. A later time in her life next to a lady with no gloves. Very interesting photo and statement of Jackie's affinity for gloves - white, black or even riding gloves!

Later in Life - Change of History - No Gloves

The photos prove that Jackie fastidiously wore gloves throughout every event in her life. It wasn't until later in her life and when fashion mandated no gloves that we finally see Jackie without gloves.

Fashion Fun with Gloves - Other Functions

Artist Rachel Denny's Functional Glove Rug

Glove rugs and glove blouses are not likely to create a trend, but the likelihood of the return of the elegant and yet protective glove? Very probable. Even one person predicted gloves for Fall 2010 fashions.

Gloves Beyond Fashion - Also Functional

Gloves for working, riding horses continues to day. Golf gloves and now "pilate gloves" are prevalent. Swim gloves offer a wonderful way to add resistance to your swim fitness and water aerobic routines. The protection of your hands is an essential function.

Germs - Gloves Needed

And in the medical profession today, gloves are now mandatory. But what about gloves for real life? We know the spread of MRSA is from hand to face. We have issued extensive hand washing protocol for protection at hospitals and schools. Shaking hands remains an important business protocol but the germs involved, as science has now taught us, are potentially harmful even deadly to those with impaired immune systems such as the elderly.
