*Oleg Cassini was known to be the Couturier of Camelot and dressed Jacqueline Kennedy many occasions. His older pieces are hard to find as they where cherished and worn to pieces. His first film in 1941 he was responsible for many of the best looks on film, dressing stars like Rita Hayworth, Gene Tierney (who he married), Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Lana Turner, etc. In 1952, he opened his own fashion house on Seventh Avenue. By 1961 he was appointed by Jacqueline Kennedy as her exclusive couturier. Some of his early works especially, were more on par with couture, using the same techniques and high fashion fabrics as the French couture houses.
