Minnesota History Center
St. Paul, MN
Organized by the Chicago History Museum in cooperation with Johnson Publishing Company, “Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair” was a 5,000 square foot exhibit that featured over 40 ensembles significant to late 20th and early 21st century fashion including stunning gowns, feathered coats, and statement designs. Archival photographs and video helped to re-create the one-of-a-kind experience of attending the Ebony Fashion Fair.
Inspiring Beauty offered an unprecedented chance for visitors who never attended the show and event regulars to experience the beauty, glamour, and excitement of the show first-hand.
