Fashion Fast Track Recap

 Saturday evening SSP hosted a Black and White Ball based on an actual ball thrown by Truman Capote. Halston, another "Indiana" designer (he wasn't born in Indiana but moved to Evansville, Indiana at the age of 14) had a huge influence on that event.

Conventioneers were asked to dress themselves and their dolls in black and white, with prizes being awarded in several categories.

The centerpiece fashions were both based on Halston creations:

BLANC ET NOIR

The souvenir was based on a Norell design, featuring a long gown and coat. The coat can be reversed for another look.
