STILL REMAINS:
THE IMMORTAL CYCLE OF AN ICON, JACQUELINE KENNEDY ONASSIS


Catalog

A celebration of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' birth as an icon through the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Still Remains examines the iconography of November 22nd, 1963 through the cycle of life/death/birth-- preserving the moment when Jackie and her pink suit 'shaped the shift' in definitive American, gender and fashion culture.

The interior and exterior design decisions of this large-format catalog are based upon a formal and contextual inversion of the body bag. More specifically, my intentions were captured throughout the pacing of the book; first providing a historical background, then through the documentation of "Shaping the Shift" where we see Jackie's immediate influence on culture through 1962-1964, and to conclude, a transition into contemporary fashion essays, theories, symbolic metaphors, and side-by-side positioned photographs.
