“I’ve had the good fortune of having known Eunice Johnson and that she selected, from each of my collections, during her tenure. One of my gowns was selected to be part of this exhibit. Over the years of her producing Fashion Fair, she amassed 8,000 looks. To have been chosen, I feel very honored.”
