Famed Designer Oleg Cassini Passes Away
Famed New York fashion designer Oleg Cassini died on Friday, leaving a legacy of nearly seven decades of inspired design.
Cassini, who was known for dressing Jacqueline Kennedy and numerous Hollywood stars, also sought to bring beautiful, affordable clothes to the average women through his ready-to-wear lines.
He was credited for bringing the A-line dress and pillbox hat en vogue – a la Jackie – as well as introducing the Nehru jacket to America.
He died at the age of 92 on Long Island, where he had a home.
