Snapshot: Babe Paley and Truman Capote

Can you believe this photo? I can’t think of anything more chic than Babe Paley’s simple overcoat (let’s just imagine – for ecstasy’s sake – it’s double face cashmere like those incredible ones Raf Simons showed in his final Jil Sander collection) with her matching white Gucci bamboo-handled bag and horse bit loafers. I wouldn’t turn down Truman Capote as an accessory either.
