Once the epitome of soigné worldly glamour, the words jet set conjure up images of exotic global destinations and golden beaches; clandestine rendezvous on opulent yachts; star-studded parties in palatial mansions; the women in couture gowns and glittering jewellery; the men in elegant tuxedos. The jet set people were the last vestiges of a quiet, cultured era, a world of taste and culture, elegance and beauty.
Swans: Legends of Jet Society captures the spirit of this world, when today's technology was the stuff of science fiction, when foreign travel was the exclusive domain of a privileged cosmopolitan few. From the aristocracy of yesteryear to modern mega-rich tycoons, this stunning volume offers escapades of travel, money, sex and adventure. These are the legends of the jet set: stories of glamour, excitement and exclusivity.
