The 41" annual Ebony Fashion
Fair “ Fashions To Love” will appear
in Portland at the Doubletree Ho
tel, Jantzen Beach, on Friday April
16, 1999, at 8 PM. The world’s larg
est traveling fashion show is pro
duced by Ebony magazine and is
sponsored by the Portland Chapter
of the Links, incorporated for the
benefit of the Links’ educational
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
Yves Saint Laurent, Oscar De La
Renta, V alentino, Bob M ackie,
Giorgio Sant’ Angelo, Fabrice, and
Bruce Oldfield.
Mrs. Johnson is meticulous and
thorough in purchasing the most spec
tacular fashions available for the
Ebony Fashion Fair audiences.
More than 200 exquisite garments
complete with the latest accessories,
10 female and 2 male models, com
mentator, music director, stage and
business managers, and wardrobe
staff travel from coast to coast on a

through May - appearing in more
