For 50 years, the Ebony Fashion Fair brought haute couture to the African-American community. The brainchild of +EBONY Magazine co-founder Eunice Johnson, the fair became a vehicle for empowerment, pride and achievement. Its story, and some of its most iconic dresses, will be on display at the Museum of Art and Design Atlanta (MODA) beginning Saturday and continuing through Jan. 4.
+Encore Atlanta will give you a sneak preview of the exhibit and behind-the-scenes interviews with some of its key figures. Join us live to meet and ask questions with:
3-3:15 pm: MODA Executive Director Laura Flusche.
3:15-3:30 pm: Linda Johnson Rice of Ebony Magazine (and daughter of Eunice Johnson).
3:30-3:45 pm: Deborah Riley Draper, MODA board member and producer/director of the film Versailles ’73 (which screens at MODA on Nov. 5.)
