Something Old, Something New at Dragonfly

How would you rate the looks that EyeSeeStyle found most appealing Thursday night at the Dragonfly Salon's grand opening in West Midtown?

From the ESS perspective, it was intriguing how the sartorial standouts mixed modern sensilibies, classic silhouettes and whimsical flourishes to celebrate a spot that's already earned _ and proudly wearing _ the "anti-Buckhead" label...

Taylor Means 'Business' in Atlanta

This is the 20-year-old multi-media artist who was Atlanta's "toast of the town" Thursday night. At least 100 people braved record cold temperatures to attend the "coming out" party at Inman Park's P'Cheen bistro for the humble, Keanu-esque Taylor Means.

I'm no art authority, but I liked what I saw. Others did as well: Attendees had no qualms about whipping their checkbooks out on the spot and purchasing Means' pieces (priced at $240 each for the occasion) at first glance.














Money Bags: This Gucci-clutching chick was among 100 offered the first shot at buying Taylor Means originals for $240 apiece.

I'd really only ventured to P'Cheen (at social sherpa Caren West's last-minute request) out of curiosity. What goes on at this much-discussed hot spot just a stone's throw from my house? And what would people be wearing on such a frigid night?

Turns out: it was a dressed-down crowd. Props to Richard Shropshire for his Prada peacoat.








This cat's "Adult Swim" ski cap comes in handy.
