See you at the Met Gala: Special Guest Rachel Tashjian

Nate and Benjamin recap the Parrish Art Museum summer benefit, the first under new director and friend of the pod Kelly Taxter . They go on to discuss the sad passing of two icons from different generations, Chuck Close and Kaari Upson . They are then joined by Downton icon and The Gentleman's Quarterly fashion critic Rachel Tashjian to discuss the Met Gala (twice), good (and bad) fashion/art collaborations, the best dressed people in the art world, the dress code for Nate's big summer event, Sterling Ruby as a fashion designer , and why The Times should revive On the Street and Evening Hours with the brilliant Mordechai Rubinstein taking over from the dearly missed Bill Cunningham .
