Original hand-drawn fashion sketch page from the design studio of Oleg Cassini Inc., featuring concept drawings executed by Joseph Boccheir, Design Coordinator for Oleg Cassini. Rendered in marker on both sides of an 9 x 12” off-white sketch sheet, the page depicts multiple dress concepts. The sketches offer a rare glimpse into the creative process behind one of America’s most influential fashion houses during the period for which Cassini became synonymous with First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy’s iconic style.

Good condition overall with light expected toning and age wear. Original binder perforations at the margin.

Oleg Cassini (1913-2006) was among the most celebrated fashion designers of the twentieth century. After beginning his career in Europe and later designing costumes for Hollywood films, Cassini established himself as a leading American designer. He achieved international fame as the principal designer for Jacqueline Kennedy during her years as First Lady, creating many of the elegant ensembles that defined the celebrated “Jackie Look.” His designs helped shape American fashion in the early 1960s and remain among the most recognizable garments associated with the Kennedy White House.

Joseph Boccheir served as a Design Coordinator for Oleg Cassini Inc., and original working sketches from the Cassini studio provide a unique behind-the-scenes record of the development of couture fashion during the Kennedy era. These unpublished concept drawings, preserved from Cassini’s personal estate, represent an uncommon opportunity to acquire original studio material directly connected to the designer whose work became inseparably linked with Jacqueline Kennedy’s enduring visual legacy.
