The Atlantic Monthly celebrated its 150th anniversary on Thursday night with a party held onstage at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts at NYU. After discovering why Arianna Huffington wasn’t wearing shoes—”I broke my ankle three weeks ago, walking in high heels over a subway grate in New York,” she explained—we asked the magazine’s editor, James Bennet, to weigh in on kaffiyehs. We figured that the editor and former New York Times Jerusalem bureau chief would have the final word on whether or not the scarves were culturally insensitive as hipster attire. He admitted sartorial ignorance: “They’re being worn as scarves now? Uh, whatever. I have no problem with it, I’m used to them. If they’re more than fifteen cents, though, that’s ridiculous.” You heard it here, Balenciaga-lovers.
