Today’s Treat is one for your brain, in light of the upcoming launch of the Charles James Beyond Fashion exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that will kick off tonight with the most glamorous fashion party of the year, The Met Ball. We invite you to pre-order the catalogue devoted to the 20th-century British-born, American-based couturier, covering his work and the high society belles he dressed from 1930 to 1958. James was not only an avant-gardist and an uncompromising virtuoso, but also a guardian of elegance. This hardcover book is written by Harold Koda (curator of the Metropolitan Museum) and Jan Reeder and prefaced by American Couturier Ralph Rucci.
