Rakia's Style Nation: Ebony Fashion Fair
Rakia's Style Nation:
Ebony Fashion Fair
February 9 - 14
1300 Market Street
This month the world’s largest traveling fashion show, Ebony Fashion Fair, is making it’s way to Macy’s Center City in honor of Black History Month. This amazing show is known for its display of high fashions for Black America and this fashion extravaganza is something that I do not want to miss!
Ebony Fashion Fair always shows the latest fashions from the world’s best fashion houses. Macy’s and Ebony will be saluting founder and fashion icon Eunice W. Johnson by unlocking her private archives from the decade. In 1945, she started Ebony Magazine with her husband and soon after started Ebony Fashion Fair in 1956. This was to work as a fundraiser for New Orleans Hospital and since then has spent decades traveling the globe to select the most glamorous creations from the world's greatest couturiers and designers and raising more money for scholarships.
The runway show will be on Wednesday, February 9, and the exhibition will go from February 9 - 14. For a fun fashion experience and to see some of the best couture from around the world, check out Ebony Fashion Fair.
