Anne Cole Lowe was the designer of Jacqueline
Kennedy’s wedding dress. THE most photographed wedding dress in history. If you
love weddings, fashion and Jacqueline Kennedy as much as I do, it’s always a
treat to learn something new about the people and industries that fuel your
passion!
Ms. Lowe counted many members of America’s
Social Register as her clients, including the Auchinclosses, Biddles, Posts,
Roosevelts, Rockefellers and DuPonts.
This Sunday night, as I watch the 86th
Academy Awards, I will think about Ms. Lowe and the pride she must have felt in
1946 as Olivia de Havilland accepted the 18th Academy Award for Best
Actress in the gown that she designed.

I always say – we learn something new every
day. Thanks to photographer Lynsey Weatherspoon for the lesson today.
Note: The attitude of American culture at the time of the 1946 Academy Awards required that the label in the dress bear the name of Sonia Rosenberg.
