For 51 years the Ebony Fashion Fair has been bringing fashion from the nation’s top designers around the world. Some of the more known designers include Anna Sui, Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, Roberto Cavalli, Givenchy, Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, Vivienne Westwood, and Bill Blass.
It all started in 1956 in an effort to raise money for the Woman’s Auxiliary of Flint-Goodrich Hospital in New Orleans. The show was such a success that it became a cross-country tour to benefit other worthy charities. Over 4,000 shows have been performed to date worldwide. The Ebony Fashion Fair has raised more than $54 million for various scholarship groups.
So where is the next stop? BUFFALO!! Show starts at 8pm Friday the 17th at the Hyatt Regency Two Fountain Plaza Buffalo, NY. Tickets are $40 and I believe you just purchase them at the door. The ticket price includes either a one-year subscription to EBONY magazine or 6-month subscription to JET magazine and a copy of EBONY FASHION FAIR magazine. Each person is also entered to win a round trip for two to any destination in the domestic U.S. states.
So the price may be a bit steep for us college students but now that we know it’s going to a good cause, I think it’s worth it! Nothing could be better than going to an awesome fashion show for $40, seeing tons of designers AND contributing to a good cause! Come out and support.
And remember…
Stay Classy Buffalo ;-)
