Ok I know, I know. Shame on me for disappearing so long on you guys! How dare I leave you without haute fashion to look at? Well don’t fret any longer! I have a treat for you. In honor of Black History Month, although it’s almost over, we’re going to showcase some of the best moments in style, fashion, and history. There were some awesome accomplishments made by our fellow Americans of color, and we would like to honor them with this blog post. So today you will see the classic styles of Ms.Lena Horne, the bold moves of Oscar de la Renta with integrating black models into fashion and the classic edge of Ms.Grace Jones.
1. Lena Horne, when she was alive was one of the most beautiful women on the planet. Her style was impeccable. She was the first black woman to sign a meaningful long-term contract with a major studio, a contract that said she would never have to play a maid. She died at the age of 92, May of 2010.
2. Oscar de La Renta made his mark on American history by being the first to showcase black models in a runway show. The fashion show now known as the "Battle of Versailles" was waged on a chilly night in France
3. Grace Jones known for singing, acting, and modeling is the most infamous style icon, her edgy style has made her one of the most recognized style fashionistas to date.
