Condé Nast Traveler | I Traveled 3,477 Miles to Visit Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s Favorite Pharmacy
They say you can’t buy taste. After all, the best wardrobes don’t flaunt expensive labels needlessly. There’s a sense of high-low: a thrifted jacket here, designer loafers there. Or, in the case of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, a Hermès Birkin paired with a drugstore headband.
Carolyn’s style has long been a major talking point, now more than ever with the run of Love Story, which follows her relationship with John F. Kennedy Jr. throughout the ’90s. Their courtship is a gripping watch, and Carolyn's style is a main character as she slips in and out of fashion parties for her work at Calvin Klein in little black dresses, then strides down sun-streamed New York streets in cropped Levi’s and penny loafers.
