On Wednesday June 10, fashion treasures from the collection of the late Eunice Johnson, matriarch of the Johnson Publishing family, will be auctioned off at Leslie Hindman Auctioneers starting at 12pm (all lots in the sale are tax exempt-ayee!). The catalogue for the wares features many designer items, Pierre Balmain, Oscar de la Renta, Thierry Mugler,Anna Sui, Paco Rabanne, Nina Ricci, that any lady about town, stylist, starlet and vintage lover would want to get their hands on.
We decided to pair some of today’s fashion darlings with pieces from the upcoming Ebony Fashion Fair Collection auction. If you would like to see some of these first hand, they are hosting preview days starting tomorrow June 5 through Tuesday June 9.
Miley Cyrus who wore a very revealing studded Alexander Wang creation to this year’s Met ball should have no problem fitting into this Paco Rabanne Purple and Red Rhodoid Disc Dress.
As daughter to the queen of the Disco era, Tracee Ellis Ross is the envy of all vintage lovers, what with her access to her mom’s closet but this Barocco Pink Sequin jumpsuit she can call her own without having to raid Ms. Ross’ closet for. We think this would be a great performance outfit for T-Murda.
Zendaya Coleman with the style guise of Law Roach, has been killing the red carpet and this yellow Bill Blass Silk Halter Cocktail Dress will highlight that gorgeous neckline and long legs of hers.
Emma Watson tends to go more demure with a kick and this feather Christian Dior would definitely stand out paired with 4″+ Jimmy Choos.
Toni Canada has appeared on SociaLifeChicago’s ‘Best Dressed on The Scene’ list multiple times and every event she attends, she’s always slaying. This Nina Ricci dress will be the talk of the gala.
Miroslava Duma, a street style favorite, can definitely rock this Lanvin coat
Though Iris Apfel‘s closet is probably a treasure trove of amazing vintage items, perhaps its missing this Lanvin Multicolor Silk Sleeveless Coat.
Shiona Turini, former Fashion Market Director for Cosmo and CR Book, is the insta queen of crop tops. This Marc Bouwer Green and Black Zebra Print skirt and turtleneck crop top would be up her alley, maybe she’ll alter the skirt or make it shorter.
Julianne Moore was beyond breathtaking this past awards season and the Oscar de la Renta Champagne Bead gown with its intricate detail would be perfect for upcoming awards season.
Lupita Nyong’o slays and this chic sequined dress is perfect for a cocktail attire event
Lastly, because fashion is cyclical, here is “It” model Gigi Hadid at Monday’s CFDA awards and a Renalto Balestra Gold Sequin jumpsuit from the upcoming Ebony Fashion Fair Collection auction.
