The Charles James: Beyond Fashion exhibition opened on May 5 in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Gallery in the Anna Wintour Costume Center, and it will run through August 10. For anyone with an interest in fashion history or haute couture, this would be a great exhibit to see. Although Charles James was born in Britain, he's considered an American couturier, and he's especially known for the elegant ballgowns he created during the late 1940s through the mid-1950s.
