The Windsor Style by Suzy Menkes (Book)
About the Item
The Windsor Style is the first book to look at the luxurious post-war life of the Duke and Duchess at home in their Paris mansion and at play at their converted mill-house in the French countryside, where the ex-king ruled over a flower-filled English garden. We are taken to the Windor's palatial Riviera villa and follow them on their royal progress through New York and Palm Beach.
For the first time, too, intimate friends from a charmed circle in Paris describe in their own words the Windors' fabulous lifestyle: flower vases where the water was as clear and sparkling as the Duchess's fabled jewels; menus co-ordinated in a symphony of colour; tablecloths embroidered to match the priceless porcelain; and candlesticks arranged so that the Duke could gaze at Wallis. 224 pages illustrated by 122 colour and 74 black and white photographs.
