For Charles James and his coterie, "Beautiful manners and bad behavior were the essence of chic," wrote Judith Thurman in her New Yorker profile this week. Virtually forgotten outside the fashion world, Mr. James – an egomaniacal genius who influenced fashion history immeasurably – is at last getting his dues. “Charles James: Beyond Fashion” opens May 8th at the newly refurbished Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
And where there's an opening, there's a party. And not just any party, but THE party of the year, and where do they all go after the party of the year? To The Standard of course!
Here's a taste of the insanely talented and beautiful people who dropped by The Top of The Standard.
