Run, don't walk to see
Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair at the Chicago History Museum. The exhibit opens today and showcases just a portion of Ebony Magazine's massive collection of breathtaking vintage couture clothing. The pieces were collected by Eunice Johnson from 1956 until 2006. The collection is unique in that it not only spans a wide range of decades but also designers. Below, I have included photos of some of my favorite pieces.
