Truman Capote is not a role model

Opening on July 14, Dunhill's new 7,000-square-foot flagship will feature menswear, jewelry, and leather goods, plus a special bonus: the downstairs atelier, housing the company's bespoke operation and curiosities from its archives. On display? Sketches of suits for Frank Sinatra, and the boxy tux Truman Capote wore when he hosted the legendary Black and White Ball in 1966 (pictured). Our recommendation: Take party tips from Capote, but save the sartorial inspiration for Ol' Blue Eyes.
Dunhill, 545 Madison Ave., New York, NY, (800) 776-4053, dunhill.com

It turns out Dunhill has a sense of humor. I looked at the "Swimwear" section of their site, where I learned that their fashions have "a fresh dose of masculinity." Shown beside that statement are a pink drawstring swimsuit with its pink drawstring carrying bag.
