The ‘Charles James: Beyond Fashion’ Costume Institute Gala is underway in New York and the red carpet is glowing with a huge variety of gowns. This year’s theme of White Tie and Decorations is dedicated the Charles James, often described as the first American couturier. Anna Wintour, chairperson of the event since 1995 and editor at Vogue, hoped that this year’s theme would have guests dressed in more sophisticated attire than last year’s Punk: Chaos to Couture theme.
