Style Icons: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

To start off my icons series I decided to start off with Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. Not only do we share a name, but a love for classic shapes, and timeless fashion. Jackie embodied class, style, and grace throughout her years in the public eye.
