Charles Wilson Brega James (18 July 1906 – 23 September 1978) was a British-born fashion designer known as "America's First Couturier". He is widely considered to have been a master of cutting and is known for his highly structured aesthetic. ==Early life== James' father was Ralph Ernest Haweis James, a British army officer and instructor at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. His mother was Louise Enders Brega, a Chicago "patrician".〔 In 1919, he attended Harrow School, where he met Evelyn Waugh, Francis Cyril Rose, and, most importantly, Cecil Beaton, with whom he formed a longstanding friendship. He was expelled from Harrow for a "sexual escapade". At the age of nineteen in 1926, Charles James opened his first hat shop in Chicago, using the name of a schoolfriend, "Charles Boucheron". In 1928, he left Chicago for Long Island with 70 cents, a Pierce Arrow, and a number of hats as his only possessions. He later opened a hat shop above a garage in Murray Hill, Queens, New York, beginning his first dress designs.
