Inheriting the passion for fashion from his mother, Oleg Cassini designed for the style icon Hollywood movie stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Gene Tiernery during 1940s and 50s.  In 1960 Oleg Cassini became the Principal State robe designer, chosen by Jacqueline Kennedy, who knew him for years. His solid training in art and his long experience in Hollywood served him well. Cassini created the new image for the First Lady, which became the first memorable fashion line to emerge on TV sets across the world. Soon, it seemed, women all over the world followed the First Lady’s image.
