the AND/OVER record

A matter of record, finally. 
Observations on life, standards, and the surrounding culture.

Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy never asked to be watched. Twenty-seven years after her death, she remains one of the most referenced style icons in the world. Sotheby's fashion specialist Lucy Bishop calls it the appeal of the anti-influencer: the same handful of pieces, black and neutral colors, blue jeans, loafers, a headband, sunglasses, a leather bag.

Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and Friday prove that standards don't announce themselves. They repeat. Sotheby's: What Made Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy a Style Icon?

AND/OVER

01. AND. Person and dog, denoted as one entry, not two.
02. OVER. The standard sits above the diagonal. Everything below it is ordinary and not part of the record.
03. ANDOVER. Read as one word: the place where the record started.
