A Night Celebrating DRESS CODE

On any given night in New York, a party is faced with competition. It just hasn’t come from the Knicks since the 90s. “I think the last time I broke the dress code is tonight,” Rickie De Sole tells me. “I don’t have any Knicks merch on!” While De Sole is fashionable enough to pull off orange and cobalt, she opted for a Haider Ackermann for Tom Ford suit to toast the launch of Dress Code, AIR MAIL’s sparkly new weekly dispatch on all things style. She was joined by Air Mail editor Julia Vitale, and together they welcomed representatives from the fashion set to Temple Bar on Wednesday night.

De Sole, who, with her contagious smile, is the polar opposite of fashion’s icy stereotype, was most excited to welcome young new faces. “In fashion, there is nothing more exciting than celebrating the next generation of American design talent,” she says. Among them were Christopher John Rogers, a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner; Aurora James, the force behind Brother Vellies and the Fifteen Percent Pledge; Emily Dawn Long and Daniella Kallmeyer, founders of their eponymous labels; and Hillary Taymour, of Collina Strada.
