Park Avenue, on Friday, April 24, at 8:00 p.m. This famed traveling fashion show is pro duced by Ebony Magazine and is spon sored by the Portland Chapter of LINKS, Incorporated, for the benefit of Links’ Education and Scholarship fund. Mrs. Eunice W. Johnson, producer and director of the show, personally selects fashions from the exclusive col lections of famed designers such as Bill Blass, Bob Mackie, Fabrice, Bruce Oldfield, Yves Saint Laurent, and Chris tian Dior. Mrs. Johnson is meticulous and thorough in purchasing the most spec tacular fashions available for Ebony- Fashion Fair audiences. More than 200 exquisite garments complete with the latest accessories, 10 female and 2 male models, commenta tor, music director, stage and business managers, and wardrobe staff travel from coast to coast on a special char tered Greyhound Bus. Because of the unprecedented demand for sponsorship of the show by charitable organizations around the country, Ebony Fashion Fair now tours two seasons-the east and midwest from September through De cember, and the southwest from Janu- ary through M ay-appearing in more than 191 cities.
