The National Arts Club Fashion Committee Saluted William Calvert for Callula Lillibelle 2011 Innovator Award Recipient last Thursday, June 2, 2011.

A lovely reception, as always, by the best fashion committee anywhere, Whom You Know was honored and delighted to attend. On their site this committee tells us: The mission of the National Arts Club Fashion Committee is to help educate, enlighten, celebrate, and spread a good word about this fantastic art form we call fashion. The National Arts Club is comprised of nearly twenty committees, ranging from Culinary Arts to Architecture. Fashion, although can be seen as the most non-useful and more frivolous of the bunch, can, however, find itself crossing paths in a practical manner with each of the whole. For example, fashion photography has become quite important in the world of still imagery, documentaries and films are dedicated to and depict fashion, there are buildings designed specifically to house a certain collection, museums built devoted to fashion, novels written for the sake of fashion, fashionable drinks and music that dedicate many verses to a said designer or style, there are balls and dance parties produced, all with anticipation of what people are wearing. Shakespeare would mean so much less without the costumes, and oh, the fabric! Red carpets for awards ceremonies and the like have all become a new kind of runway for actors and other industry types. There is even a way the fashion crowd "eats", or nibbles as an associate calls it- (I along with some of my friends and others are an exception to this rule). Whether you are considered in fashion or past season, from uniform wearers to exhibitionists, you are still a part of this realm of art where everyday we all figure out how to cover or minimally cover the best canvas on earth: Our bodies. We cannot escape it even if we tried. Even those who sequester themselves away from general society create their own sense of style, because to be creative is to be human. Fashion is EVERYONE and EVERYWHERE.

P.S. Reina we are thinking of you

Chrishaunda and Peachy, who both learned it's not who you know, it's Whom You Know from Mover and Shaker Rennie McQuilkin!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
