i always loved that she could wear yohji and look elegant and chic...
she took the mystery out of japanese design...she understood and saw the beauty in it...
she'd mix yohji w/manolos...and a strong red lip...and it just worked...
nothing tricky or mysterious about it...just simple elegance...

firenze 1321: thanks for the great link!

I found that pic, the simple sophisticated outfit!

shes beautiful

I don't like her. She has a really harsh sort of beauty. And all that publicity about her drug-addiction and her adultery don't paint her as a very 'classy' woman.

i didn't know there existed that many paparazzi pics of her!

thanks for all the links!

Mercedes! A woman after my own heart. You know how much I love Carolyn.

I concur with Softgrey's comments and would like to add that CBK helped mold my minimalist style. I of course never knew her as a person so I can't begin to judge how she lived her life, but I can admire and respect her innovative and original style. She was geniune beauty who had flawless taste (in clothes and men). Love, love, love her.

P.S. Back in the old days of tFS, she was always my in my avatar.

Her style is true american classic. It's as if the pictures were taken yesterday on the street. I really miss watching her.

Astrid, I remember that you liked Carolyn but I never realized how influential she was on your personal style (which I really admire )

Which is your favourite Carolyn outfit?

I completely agree. Those 3 outfits are my favourites

redundant but what the hay

wow- everyone luvs this woman. i guess she really was special. the thing i admire about her most is how she managed to be cutting edge and under-stated at the same time. seems like a contradiction, but, with her, it wasn't. Jackie O was very good at this too.
Anyone think of a current girl with this talent?

Aw, thank you, Mercedes.

Hmmm...it's hard to pick a favorite, but here's a few that really struck a chord with me. Basically any time she wore Yohji Yamamoto it was a hit for me.


I'll stop there. I could go on for days.

She did do Yohji beautifully. (Like softgrey commented) CBK was great at simplifying clothing. I really liked how she kept her formal wear simple and effortless looking yet it was so flawless she obviously put care into what she wore.

I think the best Carolyn fashion moments are definitely when she was dressing casually though. She brought a quiet polished elegance to that side of her style. I love that thick headband that she frequently wore.

i don't know if astrid posted this...but her pics aren't coming up for me...so...
yohji...

Carolyn Bessette Kennedy- My Fashion Icon

The one person I adore as a fashion icon, is the late Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. Her minimalist style worked so well on her. I have my own personal forum that is dedicated to her, so if anyone ever wants to come by, you're more than welcome.

Her style was definetly flawless, and classic.
Here's some photos of her various styles...


Here she's wearing one of my fav designers Yohji Yamamoto


I just love her style to death, and I use her style as inspiration in the clothes I choose. Anyways, my forum URL is under my profile if anyone else wants to come by sometime, and if you can't find it, I'll post it.
