Ladies Who Lunch
From Palm Beach to Hyannis Port, you can’t escape them. Lunching at Jean Georges by day and gossiping at the Met Opera at night, these ladies and gentlemen have inspired television series such as “Gossip Girl,” films such as “Cruel Intentions” and are frankly so entertaining to look at, like a rare species at a zoo, that Assouline has a released a new book documenting the gin-soaked, emotionally distant privileged class of America.
“A Privileged Life” by Susanna Salk documents the tightly-wound East Coast upper class through iconic photographs taken over the last 50 years. From the eclectic and well-decorated home of Sister Parish to the popular pink-and-green color combination of preppy chic to iconic style makers who embody the WASP spirit like Grace Kelly, Truman Capote, or Jacqueline Kennedy, this book celebrates our timeless fascination with America’s leisure class.
