...wealthy, glamorous young President. Kennedy, moreover, seemed to enjoy the image. He never hid his fondness for attractive women, seeking them out for special attention as he moved into crowds to shake hands or spotting a comely campaign worker among his wide-eyed supporters.

Her mother Gogo, now the Marchesa Cacciapuoti di Giuliano, was the daughter of Elsa Schiaparelli, the Parisian designer who introduced colors like shocking pink to the sober world of 1930s haute couture...
