Gramercy Park Has an October Date Circled for Thom Browne and Andrew Bolton

The National Arts Club is giving its Medal of Honor in Fashion to Thom Browne and Andrew Bolton this month. The two will collect the award together on Oct. 16 in New York. The setting is the Tilden Mansion, the club's own house on Gramercy Park, which is about as old-Manhattan a room as the city can offer for an evening like this. A recipient of this medal walks into a building that has been the club's address for generations, with the gated park just across the street. It is the kind of occasion where the invitation itself tells you how the night will be dressed. For New Yorkers who keep track of where the city's taste gets its ribbons pinned, this one belongs on the calendar.
