Ann Lowe designed one of the most famous dresses in American history. Jacqueline Kennedy’s wedding dress.
For years, many people admired her work without ever knowing her name.
History remembered the dress. It’s time we remembered the designer.

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.
Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

Wish the background music didn't make her voice difficult to hear in some parts of the video but so thankful for this new tidbit. A phenomenal black woman responsible for American culture but never credited for her fabulous designs. Isolated and segregated and still fly. #annlowe #fashion #talent

The other reason for Delaware, the Ann Lowe exhibit at Winterthur. Most known for Jacqueline Kennedy’s wedding dress. It’s a replica because the original is too fragile to show. Glad I took photos; any merchandise related to the exhibit already sold out… @winterthurmuse #annlowe #jacquelinekennedy

Ann Lowe: The forgotten Black designer who created gowns for the white elite
Ann Lowe was the go-to designer among the fashionable elite of the mid-20th century. But because of her race, they were loath to admit it.

Bed doll circa 1950s. Decorating your bed & toilet tank with a doll was popular. The doll’s skirt hid toilet paper. Her dress is like an Ann Lowe dress. She’s missing an earring, has a dead fly stuck under the tulle. I will gently clean her & remove the insect. 🪰⚰️ #annlowe #africanamericandolls
