SWANS: Legends of the Jet Society

Fly high with the 1950’s jet setters in Assouline’s elegant tome

By Sarah Emily Gilbert

The Jet Set of the 1950s conjures up a bygone era of wealth, adventure, and endless amounts of glamour. In Assouline’s book, SWANS: Legends of the Jet Society, we’re taken away from our crammed commercial airplane seats and thrown into the world of private jets and exotic travels. Through vintage photographs, the book brings to life the beautiful women, couture fashions, and star-studded parties that were integral to the jet set society. From intimate photos of Jackie Kennedy Onassis to images from the Conde Nast archives, SWANS: Legends of the Jet Society by Nicholas Foulkes takes you on memorable journey with the international elite.

SWANS: Legends of the Jet Society is available for purchase at ASSOULINE boutiques worldwide and through: www.assouline.com.
