"The Duke stands on Cannes station in this sunny post-war summer of 1946, a dapper figure in his tussore suit the colour of lobster bisque, rakish straw panama, two-tone brown and cream shoes, bumble-bee striped socks and silver-topped cane.
'I'll make a boulevardier of him yet,' says Noel Coward."

No mention of the pug?? That's the best part of the picture!
I get my sartorial inspiration from 2 places:
1. The Duke of Windsor
2. Employees at the Ralph Lauren Mansion on 72nd and Madison
I recognize that picture from one of the Sotheby's catalogues from the 1997 sale of the Duke and Duchess's stuff.
