Jackie, 1962


































I love this shot of Jackie Kennedy on her so-called "goodwill tour" of India and Pakistan in 1962. In an era where attention focused solely on what Jackie wore, the First Lady's decision to take this trip was read as a shrewd move on her behalf to symbolically strengthen diplomatic ties between the East and the West. Jackie was a wise woman. And, of course, she also looked fabulous.
