McInerney, Patricia Hearst Shaw, Gillian Hearst Simonds and
Kimberly
Rockefeller hosted a reception for 400 and a dinner for 104
guests at
The National
Arts Club to celebrate the opening of
'Charles James:

The exhibition of 100 fashion and erotic drawings from
the private collection of

de Lesseps,
Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan. |
The women wore Haute Couture and Bijou and the men dressed
in blue jeans
and
dinner jackets, as James wore when he accepted the Neiman
Marcus Award in 1953, which forced a horrified Mr. Marcus to
declare blue jeans fashionable. |

National Arts Club, greeted: Charles and Janis Cecil, Kipton
Cronkite, Nicole DiCocco, Cheri Kauffman, Christine
Schott-Ledes and George Ledes, Herb Karlitz, Shawn Kolodny,

he had given 5,000
meals to Lauren Bush Lauren's FEED Supper initiative, whose
goal is to provide
one million meals for the needy by World Hunger Day on
October 16th. |
