JBK - Jackie Kennedy's Custom Belt with Her Initials | Camrose Kross

The world remains even today fascinated by the style and grace of fashion icon Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. As a glimpse into the private and creative side of JBK, here is a rare photograph of Jackie at age 23 sporting a custom belt that she herself designed!

Imagine her initiative and creativity to create her own logo and brand even in the early 1960's!

No one person made a greater impression upon fashion in American history. From her hair to her clothing to her jewelry - the lasting impression is memorable even today.

This iconic fashion statements made by Jackie in the early sixties when she was married to John F. Kennedy remain pertinent even today. A quick review of YouTube proves my point with not one but two videos dedicated to Jackie's style.

Amazingly for all the publicity that has surrounded Jackie over the last 50 years, the creativity of Jackie was not touted. Often reported as a serious student who shunned the public light, the many accomplishments outside of Jackie's marriages are not highlight other than her style for clothing.

Jackie was an accomplished horse back rider, writer and won several awards including an internship for Vogue Magazine which she ended up turning down. Her poetry has been published and later in life she continued in the field of journalism as editor with Doubleday Publishing.

Her great fashion style was not hiring the best designer (but that always helps!) but her attention to detail with her jewelry and her accessories.

Jackie Created Her Own Style

Even from a very young age, Jackie created her own style and was very specific about her jewelry. She was very intelligent and creative. On more than one occasion, she would have a piece of jewelry created. What is amazing is her young start. Her self-confidence and initiative are shown in her ability to direct the creation of a distinctive piece of jewelry or clothing.

Jackie's eye for style was apparent even at the young age of 23 years old. Philip Katz of Camrose and Kross manufacturer of Jackie's Jewelry reported that "Jackie had a belt made (when she was only 23 years old, in a jewelry style using her initials (long before it became popular)."
