Only the Best: The Exceptional Life and Fashion of Ann Lowe Hardcover – 24 November 2022

Ann Lowe is a relative.

I am heartened to see this book published. Margaret Powell, one of the co-authors, was my friend. I saw her through the end of her cancer. She would be thrilled to see this book finally published. Researching Ann Lowe was her life's work. I was pleased to find a list of citations at the end of the book. The text is digestible for children as well as being informative for adults. The illustrations are bold and convey the feeling of Lowe's life and designs. I highly recommend this book to elementary aged children. I'd love to see it in school libraries and as a teaching aid for Black history.

Margaret Powell’s incredible research and knowledge of Ann Lowe’s iconic designs is now helping to give this designer the recognition she has long deserved! From Jackie Kennedy’s famous wedding dress, to designing for Hollywood stars, we all recognize her designs and now know the woman behind them.Beautiful illustrated, and brought to life in a stunning manner, this book is one not to miss!

Great book to inform of this great designer!

Beautiful illustrations and clear text tell the story of this amazing woman who built her business from the ground up and designed Jackie Kennedy's gorgeous wedding gown!
