"It's the big whirl of fashion!"

Antthony Mark Hankins

That's a quote from Eunice Johnson, founder of Ebony magazine.  In the wake of the New York, Paris and Milan fashion weeks, I was flipping through a few auction catalogs this weekend that I had shoved aside for later.  I saw that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers will be auctioning vintage pieces from the Ebony Fashion Fair Collection on October 22nd.   So many wonderful pieces!  Here are just a few of my favorites.

The Ebony Fashion Fair goes way back to 1958.  Flipping through the auction catalog you really get a sense of the power of fashion through the years!  Check it out yourself  . . . and maybe throw in your bid!
