Mustique- Princess Margaret

When she wasn’t rubbing shoulders with her fast set of flunkies in Swinging London, Princess Maggie was busy flying the flag on the sun-soaked island of Mustique, holding court with an ex-con or several. 

Shady collaborations aside, she thankfully never cut corners with her capsule holiday wardrobe, filling her Goyard to the rafters with monogrammed towels, bathing turbans and the like.

Swimwear (like luggage) should always be matching. Coordinate your costume to your kaftan and accessorise with a stiff gin, ivory cigarette holder and ring-finger rock large enough to choke a small child.
