Wow. R.I.P Oleg. You gave us so much beauty.
Wow! Great photo of Gracie wearing glasses, Ann. I think we need more photos of those two together. She was in her fashion prime in those days.
When you think of how young Jackie Kennedy was when Cassini dressed her you get how incredibly sophisticated and talented he was. Jackie always looked exquisitely chic and appropriate.
RIP
I had the honor of meeting Mr. Cassini back in 1997 at the one and only Fragrance Week in Lincoln Center. They had put tents up and it was a wonderful day for fragrance fanatics. He was sitting at a table looking quite debonair and he was signing autographs. He was 83 at the time. I even asked him what sign he was (Aries, like me). He signed the cover of my program that was handed out that day - To Patty, Oleg Cassini and he drew a heart with an arrow going through it. I have that program right here at my desk and will treasure it even more now. I am truly honored to have been in his presence.
Patty! What a wonderful moment for you and what a true treasure you have with his signature! Thank you for telling us all about it!
That is a great story P!
I love how you asked him what his sign was!!!
