What were the men wearing at San Francisco Opera’s opening gala on September 11, 2009? Classic top hats, tuxedos, red suspenders, white ties, vests, black ties, patterned ties … Joel Goodrich’s black sequined jacket was by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel, one of two in the world. The other belongs to the singer Usher. Karl Lagerfeld has one in silver. OK, it may be possible that Mr. Lagerfeld has one in black as well … Joel also wore a black diamond men’s tennis bracelet and ring by David Yurman.
Marius Carluci, general manager of the Prada boutique in San Francisco, looked especially debonair in a white and black Yves Saint Laurent jacket with his Prada shirt and tie. Medical student Alex Zider’s classic black Ralph Lauren tuxedo hid a set of red suspenders that matched his mother Linda’s red Escada gown – a gorgeous couple (photos by Tim Williamson).
