One of the owners, Patrick McBride, came himself to deliver the fabrics in Paris. We contacted them again to print the fabric for the living room at Hyannis Port. Patrick sent me a picture of Jackie on a deck chair in the Cape Cod garden, showing pillows printed of a shell design. I thought it was good to fi nd this design in the interior decoration of the house (a subliminal reference). Patrick's grandmother was in touch with Jackie Kennedy and had printed for her some fabrics for the White House and Hyannis Port. We also found the blue fabric with cherub design in Kennedy's bedroom from the same company. While spotting at Harrods in London, we found bedspreads and linens that I thought looked the same as Jackie's bedroom and bathroom photos. After contacting the French house, I found that the founding member had immigrated during the 1930s to Los Angeles, and had dressed with silk the greatest cinema stars of the time. She provided some of the linens of the White House, and created in 1960 the big embroidered tablecloth for the State Dining Room table that we see on every dinner photo.

We then had to rent some very high-quality props from a few prestigious antique dealers such as Steilitz in Paris and Farley in London. Jackie used to work with two American decorators, Henry Francis du Pont and Sister Parish as interior designers, but also with Stéphane Boudin from Maison Jansen in Paris. This house nicely lent us the real sample books used for the White House, which allowed us to reprint some fabrics. Six upholsterers worked for more than three months, but at one time there was a team of more than thirty people that worked in this division, plus the furniture manufacturers, painters, decorators, set dressers, assistants, trainees, ripers, etc. At the end of the day, more than two hundred and fifty people worked in the construction team at the peak of the activity, with a total of 7000 workdays. We attached a lot of importance to the accessories details (Jackie's favorite newspapers, personal effects,
