Jet Set
The jet set is a social group of wealthy and fashionable people who travel the world to participate in social activities unavailable to ordinary people. The term was introduced in 1949 and replaced " café society"; it reflected a style of life involving travelling from one stylish or exotic place to another via jet plane. With the democratization of air travel it has been replaced at least in part by the term "''glitterati''", reflecting a greater emphasis upon celebrity, including "being seen" and stalked by ''paparazzi'', and less upon mode of travel. The term "jet set" is attributed to Igor Cassini, a reporter for the '' New York Journal-American'' who wrote a gossip column under the pen name " Cholly Knickerbocker". He was a younger brother of the fashion designer Oleg Cassini. Another term that developed during the era was ''Beautiful People'',''Vogue'' 15 February 1964:49 and '' The Ladies Home Journal'' September 1970:81, noteBarry Popik, "Beautiful people" a perio ...
