It's so fantastic that RO is using Charles James.
His work was photographed extensively at his height by the most eminent "fashion "photographers" - a young Irving Penn and the classic image of his work, by Cecil Beaton.
Here is a nice image showing structure and minimal lines rather than the frou-frou of his late work:
MBD"To articulate what is past does not mean to recognize 'how it really was.'
It means to take control of a memory, as it flashes in a moment of danger."
-Walter Benjamin. Thesis VI, Theses on the Philosophy of History
