Escape will appeal to readers interested in fashion and photography, social history and travel, architecture and design, in the manner of Hotel Il Pellicano, Doris Duke’s Shangri-la, and C. Z. Guest: American Style Icon. Escape is a celebration of the twentieth-century jet-setting lifestyle in the warm-weather destinations of the Caribbean and Florida–from the great estates of ambitious patrons to the most exclusive resorts of the mid-twentieth century–in a spectacular photographic presentation that chronicles its glamour and appeals to the nostalgia for it.
