Graydon Carter and Maison Valentino toasted AIR MAIL’s London List at Upstairs at Langan’s

London, a high-tea type of town, was overdue for a rager. On Tuesday night, the American insurgents delivered it when our only–in–Air Mail crowd—Nicky Haslam and Nikolai von Bismarck, Gene Gallagher and John Lahr, James Fox and J. J. Martin—joined Graydon Carter and Maison Valentino at Upstairs at Langan’s to celebrate the London List, the 25 talented young people who are brightly lighting up the scene here.

For honorees such as Luke Edward Hall, Charlie Porter, Rejina Pyo, Nicola Dinan, Eliza Clark, and Archie Henderson, who towered over them all, it was a homecoming of sorts. The group had previously gathered at Langan’s back in September, when Dafydd Jones and Coco Cottam photographed them for the November 11 issue of Air Mail. Then: new friendships were formed, and 16 bottles of champagne were consumed. Now: they’re all old friends, and we’re afraid to see the bar tab.
