It takes great skill to weave and spin protection for the beauty of the home from the outside, ensuring that we maintain everything within

Parshat Vayakhel-Pekudei โ€” Haute couture

 

The socialite event of the season was held on September 12, 1953. The marriage of 24-year-old Jacqueline Bouvier and newly elected Massachusetts senator John F. Kennedy was celebrated by some 700 guests at the ceremony in St. Maryโ€™s Church in Newport, Rhode Island, and 1,200 at the reception.

 

As the photos of the big day show, the brideโ€™s dress was magnificent. The New York Times at the time described it as made:

 

Of silk taffeta, with a fitted bodice embellished with interwoven bands of tucking, finished with a portrait neckline and a bouffant skirt.

 

Recently Elle described the gown as โ€œone of the most iconic wedding-day looks of all time.โ€

 

The dress was designed by Ann Lowe, who had designed dresses for the most fashionable, elite families in America โ€“ including the du Ponts, the Roosevelts and the Rockefellers. Jackieโ€™s mother, Janet Auchincloss, loved Loweโ€™s designs, and had already ordered several dresses from her for herself and her daughters.

 

Lowe was born in rural Clayton Alabama in 1898. She learned dressmaking from her grandmother, the daughter of a slave woman and the plantation owner. Both Loweโ€™s grandmother and mother were seamstresses to the wealthy Alabama upper crust.

 

Loweโ€™s mother died when Ann was only 16, while still making four ballgowns for the governorโ€™s wife. Anne finished the order and took over the business.

 

When she was 18, Lowe was accepted to the New York fashion school, S.T. Taylor Design School. It was only when she arrived to take up her place in the school that they realized she was black, and they forced her to take the classes in a separate classroom to keep her segregated from the white students.

 

After graduating, Lowe moved to Tampa, Florida, where she opened a very successful salon, catering to the glitterati. In 1928, she moved back to New York. For a while she worked on commission for such upmarket stores as Henri Bendel, Chez Sonia, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue. She designed the dress that Olivia de Havilland wore to accept her Academy Award in 1947, though the name on the label read โ€œSonia Rosenberg.โ€

 

In 1950 she opened Ann Lowe Gowns on Lexington Avenue. She was very selective in who wore her dresses, describing herself as โ€œan awful snob.โ€

 

I love my clothes and Iโ€™m particular about who wears them. I am not interested in sewing for cafe society or social climbers. I do not cater to Mary and Sue. I sew for the families of the Social Register.
