Discover Swans: Legends of the Jet Society, the sumptuous book by Nicholas Foulkes published by Assouline in 2013. This iconic work from the Legends collection is a true luxury coffee table book that captures the essence of jet-set glamour and the jet society.

Once the ultimate symbol of high society chic, the term “jet set” instantly evokes exotic destinations, golden beaches, secret rendezvous on luxury yachts, lavish parties in palatial mansions, women in haute couture gowns and sparkling jewelry, and men in elegant tuxedos. This magnificent book recounts the last vestiges of an era of refined leisure, taste, culture, elegance, and absolute beauty.

From the aristocracy of yesteryear to today’s ultra-wealthy tycoons, this breathtaking volume is brimming with extraordinary escapades blending travel, wealth, seduction, romance, and adventure.
