Ebony Fashion Fair —
explodes in ‘Color Fantasy’
Cool-weather fashions shown at
the shows will run the gamut of
color from strong blue and red
coats, puraple and green ensem
bles, and day-glo suits, with a spat
tering os spicetones and browns,
palomino rust-and-whites, and
oversize tartan plaids.
Ebony’s “Color Fantasy” show
also will feature dazzling
fluorescents, acid brights and neon
colors threaded with yellows and
silver for menswear.
“Color will play a dominant role
in every designer’s collection this
fall, and we will see fashion color
come alive as never before,” said
Johnson.
“The show stars 12 models, in
cluding 10 women and two men,
who will make approximately 250
changes during each show.
The Ebony Fashion Fair began
in 1958 as a means for local civic
and charitable groups to raise
money. Now considered the largest
fashion extravaganza of its kind in
the world, the year-long event has
grown from a 10-city show to a
nationwide tour of nearly 200 cities
and towns. The Fair has raised
more that sl7 million for charity
since its inception 26 years ago.
Fashions for the fall and winter
seasons will explode like fireworks
in a brilliant display of bold, elec
trifying colors.
“The best fashions this fall and
winter are the ones that don’t hold
back. They are unabashedly color
ful and outrageous,” said Eunice
W. Johnson, producer and direc
tor of the annual Ebony Fashion
Fair.
“Dressing this season can be
exhilarating, filling each day and
night with a new awareness of
what color can do for you.”

Emmy Award-winning director
Jay Sandrich, director of the new
series had this to add: “I like the
concept of ‘The Cosby Show’ and the
fact that both adults and children
can appreciate and laugh at the
familiar situations.
“I didn't want to pass up the
opportunity to work with Bill Cosby
again; he’s brilliant.”
Sandrich directed a number of
segments of “The Bill Cosby Show”
in 1969. In the beeinnine. however, it
was comedy stalwart Carl Reiner
who caught Cosby’s act one night in
Pittsburgh and later introduced him
to producer Sheldon Leonard, who
signed him to co-star with Robert
Cuip in the “I Spy” action senes.
Cosby won Emmy Awards three
years in a row for “outstanding
continuing performance by an actor
in a leading role in a dramatic
series.”
