Alva Chinn, whom I've featured here before, was one of several American models who participated in a significant fashion show at Versailles in 1973. The American models were all black, and they stole the show from their French counterparts. It was regarded as a groundbreaking moment in fashion with regard to race.
In Jaunary 2011 Alva Chinn attended a models' reunion and reception at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York ocommemorating the event. The picture below is from that reception.
Beauty comes with age as much as wisdom does. :-)
