«I don't think it's completely inappropriate to appear before this audience. I am the man who has accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris , and I enjoyed it, ”said United States President John F. Kennedy in June 1961 during a state visit to France.

During this trip, all eyes were on Jackie Kennedy (1929-1994). The first lady - who spoke French very well after having a degree in French literature at George Washington University and having studied at the Sorbonne in Paris - managed to put the French in her pocket when she spoke Molière's language.

58 years after that trip and 25 years after his death, Jackie Kennedy returns to Paris with the exhibition Jackie, an icon of the Joseph gallery, open until September 1 in the French capital.

The exhibition reviews through a hundred photographs, some of them little exposed so far, the life of Jacqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis, born Bouvier: from her childhood as a pija girl between New York and East Hampton until the assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas , going through her family intimacy with her husband, her children and her dogs.

In the sample you can see a snapshot of Jackie Kennedy with a huge camera in his first job as a "investigative photographer" for The Washington Times-Herald , photos of his wedding with the then young Congressman Kennedy, of the election campaign , of his encounter with the queen of England and of his trip to India , among others.

Jackie Kennedy, who after becoming a widow married the millionaire Aristotle Onassis, was considered a fashion icon . His style is still imitated by millions of women. Nobody has better black sunglasses and a pearl necklace than her.

The Jackie Kennedy style is a mix of French haute couture with costumes from houses like Chanel and Givenchy and ready to wear by American designers like Oleg Cassini, the first lady's favorite.

The pink dress of Chanel she wore on her husband's murder day is kept full of blood in a secret place in the National Archives in the United States. You can not expose until 2103, at the request of its owner.
