DEBORAH RILEY DRAPERFRIDAY, MARCH 15, 2013
6:30PM-8:30PMAdmission: FREE
In salute to the fashion featured in our
exhibition, Geoffrey & Carmen: A Memoirin Four Movements, we present Versailles
73: American Runway Revolution. This
fashion history documentary takes the viewerback to the famed gilded palace in the
early 1970s for the legendary November 28th
fashion face-off that pitted ve American
designers (Anne Klein, Stephen Burrows,Bill Blass, Oscar de la Renta and Halston)
against ve French (Yves St. Laurent,
Christian Dior, Hubert de Givenchy, Pierre
Cardin, and Emanuel Ungaro). It showcasesthe unforgettable, ultimate upset that came
from when the American designs outshined
the French and forever changed the courseof fashion history with a tour de force of
stunning Black models who sashayed down
the runway, won over the crowd, gaining
newfound respect and recognition, andhelping secure American fashions place on
the world stage.
Following the screening of the lm, join us
for a stimulating discussion with lmmaker
Deborah Riley Draper, who wrote, produced
and directed Versailles73. Draper says,
This is an important lm, not only becauseits the story of American designers getting
international attention for the rst time and
kicking a** over the French. But it also hasimportant political overtones, because this
show actually broke the color barrier onthe runways.
