It was sponsored by the Portland Chapter of The Links Inc. They also provided a community atmosphere by awarding various scholarships to 11 outstanding students. One of which was a soon to be Jefferson High School fellow alumnist and another was a fellow delegate in the MIss Black Oregon USA 2009 pageant. 2nd runner-up, Kalia Hatta Watts attended as well and I was happy to see them all. It was like a mini reunion.
The Ebony Fashion Fair is the world's largest traveling fashion show and was more than just a walk down the catwalk. The models danced and acted and entertained the audience! The fashions I saw were from many famous designers from Italy, France, The US, and Japan. I got so much inspiration I can't wait to design an evening gown that will blow the socks off the judges at the Miss Black USA pageant in August!
Myself and Johnnie Bell who is apart of the Portland Chapter of The Links Inc. team. She was more than gracious to her guests and it was a pleasure meeting and posing for photos with her.
Here's a familiar face I didn't expect to see! A Rose Festival coordinator from my Rose Princess days! I met her granddaughter, also in the photo, during our first family and friends event this time last year!
I think she should've been in the fashion show! She was looking very chic that night.
