Listen up! I know I have bored many of you to tears harking on about the new TV mini series "The Kennedy's", but I cannot contain my excitement. The series starring both Greg Kinnear and Katie Holmes as J.F.K and Jackie has just premiered in the U.S.
After receiving some pretty bad reviews, especially Katie (or Suri's guardian as I like to call her) for her portrayal as Jackie Onassis Kennedy, the most recent shocker was that the famous pink Chanel suit worn by Jackie O when the president was assassinated was recreated for the mini series by none other than Giorgio Armani.
Mr.Armani is a close friend to both Tom Cruise and Suri's female guardian and when Armani found out about the series they wanted to make all of the Jackie Kennedy replicas for Katie says Christopher Hargadon who was wardrobe master for the series.
Hargadon says: "It's funny you mention that suit. It was actually done for Katie by Armani. She and Tom have a relationship with Armani, and when they found out she was doing the project, they asked to make her clothes. So we told them she would need 45 or 50 looks for all the episodes and they had to be done in about 72 days. They came back and said, "Then, we'd like to do two." So they made that and her inaugural gown. The rest were made in our workshop in Toronto."
With the famous pink Chanel suit being one of the most referenced looks when discussing Jackie Kennedy I wonder why Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel were not involved? Answers below or on a postcard please dear readers.
