Listen "CBKology"
Episode Synopsis
On this fan-service episode of Fashion People, Lauren is joined by Sunita Kumar Nair, author of CBK: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy: A Life in Fashion. They discuss how the former Calvin Klein publicist—who died in a plane crash alongside husband John F. Kennedy Jr. when they were 33 and 38, respectively—became a legitimate style icon (a description that should be reserved for only a handful of people in history). They also discuss CBK’s impact on the American fashion industry in the 1990s (it was big, hello Narciso Rodriguez) and how Nair, a creative director and stylist, ended up writing the book on one of Gen X’s most watched women.
