Show organizers overcame racial prejudice to bring the pinnacle of Europe's premier fashion to communities that were eager to see, in real time and space, a new vision of black America that was the hallmark of Ebony and Jet magazines. Eunice Johnson took over as producer and director in 1963, and under her direction, the traveling show took on new heights as she expanded her cachet and power within fashion circles. Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair recreates the experience of the Ebony Fashion Fair through the story of Mrs. Johnson and more than 60 garments from icons of the fashion industry such as Yves St. Laurent, Oscar de la Renta, Pierre Cardin, Emanuel Ungaro, Christian Lacroix, and Patrick Kelly among others. 600 10 $a Johnson, Eunice 610 20 $a Johnson Publishing Company (Chicago, Ill.) 610 20 $a Chicago History Museum $v Exhibitions 611 20 $a Ebony Fashion Fair $v Exhibitions 630 00 $a Ebony (Chicago, Ill.) 650 0 $a African Americans $x Social life and customs $v Exhibitions 650 0 $a African Americans $x Clothing 650 0 $a Clothing and dress $z United States $x History $y 20th century 650 0 $a Fashion $z United States $x History $y 20th century 700 1 $a Adams, Rosemary K. 710 2 $a Chicago History Museum. 941 $a 1 952 $l URAX314 $d 20170609043639.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9CFA4CBA4CDB11E7A75DCED3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IOCInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
