THE ICONIC LOOK

Oleg Cassini designed gowns for some of the 20th century’s biggest fashion icons, such as Grace Kelly, Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe, and Jacqueline Kennedy. In a newly revised collector’s edition of his book, The Wedding Dress, brides can pore over beautiful gowns by the designer as well as other fashion luminaries like Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani, and Alexander McQueen. The history of wedding dresses, particularly those worn for royal or celebrity nuptials, will entice those with an interest in fashion or brides looking to take inspiration from past decades. The book also features an inside look at some of the most famous weddings in the world. $65; available at amazon.com and bookstores everywhere
