| Giorgio Armani re-created this Chanel Suit worn on the day President Kennedy was assassinated. |
The four-part series, which features actress Katie Holmes and Greg Kinnear as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and her President husband John F Kennedy, displays an incredible wardrobe where Katie is seen wearing almost exact copies of some of the late first lady's most prominent outfits.
The man at the helm of this impressive wardrobe is Costume Designer Chris Hargadon. For attention to detail, nothing was spared as designers trawled through hours and hours of archive footage and extensive image research of one of the most photographed families in the world.

Adding further realism, the pink Chanel suit Katie wears, in the scene of that dreaded day when Kennedy was assassinated, was re-created, Hargadon revealed by one of my favourite designers and not the house of Chanel. The said designer was none other than Giorgio Armani who offered to create clothes for Katie when they heard of her involvement in the project.
Regardless of the divided Critics opinions on this drama, one thing is for certain, if you love Mad Men-esque clothes simply switch on for the fashion as you find yourself suitably satisfied!
