Onassis favorite tailor

Onassis demonstrated that the combination of good taste and a great tailor (in his case the legendary Caraceni of Milan) are sufficient to overcome any physical imperfections that God bestows upon a man. Mr Onassis' elegance should bury forever the old myth that big men should avoid double-breasted suits, something that undoubtedly relates to his jacket's low buttoning point and the four-by-two or Kent button stance. It's said that the tycoon always wore a black tie because he believed the consistency ensured his clothes gave away nothing about his mood. Whatever the reason, the result is admirably simple - neo-dandies should take note. NB: this shot was taken in Paris, where Mr Onassis bought his famous statement spectacles from Bonnard and from François Pinton.

CaraceniVia Fatebenefratelli, Milan, Italy
(02) 655 1972, one of the classic Italian tailors for men, very conservative, only the most exclusive fabrics.

Onassis favorite lawyer

Stelios Papadimitriou (1930-2005).
Stelios worked as an independent civil law, commercial and maritime lawyer over the last 40 years. He was Aristotle Onassis’ lawyer and confidant for business and family matters from 1954 until Onassis’ demise in 1975. In addition to law, Mr Papadimitriou became involved in shipping. He was appointed CEO of Onassis shipping activities in 1970, whilst remaining Onassis’ General Counsel and Board Member in other Onassis related activities such as aviation and banking. He was later named a life member of the Board of Directors of the Alexander S Onassis Foundation. After the establishment of the Onassis Foundation (a multibillion dollar organisation and one of the largest public benefit foundations in Europe) in 1975, he was elected Secretary General. In 1992 he was elected Vice-President and shortly after became President. Under his presidency, the foundation flourished promoting Greek culture, establishing centres of excellence for Greek civilisation and providing hundreds of postgraduate scholarships internationally each year. Stelios also served for many years as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees for a large government hospital in Piraeus, as Counsel of large banks and as Director of insurance companies unconnected with Onassis’ interests. Sadly, Mr Stelios Papadimitriou died on Wednesday 23 November 2005. His son, Mr Anthony Papadimitriou will collect the Honorary Degree on his behalf. Our sincere condolences go to his family.

This firm represented Aristotle Onassis when he started to transform ocean shipping by building larger vessels, using Liberian registration, and other means. Shearman & Sterling continued to represent Onassis after he married the widowed Jacqueline Kennedy, helping him, for example, start and finance his Olympic Airways and defending his controlling interest in the famous Monte Carlo Casino. Finally, the law firm represented his daughter Christina in estate negotiations with his widow after he died in 1975.
