She was known as "society's best kept secret." She designed gowns for the richest bluebloods in the country, famous actors and actresses, and even, arguably, the most famous first lady in American history. And very few people know her name.

Ann Lowe was born in 1899 in Alabama, but at the age of 14 she moved to New York to attend design school. By 1946, she had designed the dress Olivia de Haviland wore to accept her best actress Oscar, and, seven years later, she designed the silk taffeta gown Jackie Bouvier would wear for her wedding to John F. Kennedy.

When asked, Jackie would dismissively tell people that the gown was made by a "colored dressmaker." For what it's worth, here's a little late recognition for Ann Lowe.
