This is the 50th anniversary of Ebony Fashion Fair, the world's largest traveling catwalk extravaganza featuring designer looks from the U.S., France, Italy, England, Japan, Canada, Germany, Lebanon, Argentina and the Virgin Islands.
This year's theme is "Glam Odyssey: A Fashion Journey into Bliss & Beyond." This year's odyssey opened Sept. 12 in Chicago and will travel to more than 180 cities in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Jamaica by May 2008.
Along the way, the show also raises money for local civic organization and charities. Since 1958, the Ebony Fashion Fair show has donated over $55 million to charitable organizations.
Each ticket includes a choice of a one-year subscription to Ebony magazine or a 6-month subscription to Jet magazine. Three shows will be staged in South Florida.
