A Trip Down Memory Lane

37 years ago, there was this fashion show at City College. Wikipedia:Lois Marie Kindle was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, on July 11, 1916.[As a child, Lois and her sister Sammye recreated clothing they had seen at white department stores. Due to her race she was not allowed to enter the stores. Using sketches she drew, Alexander-Lane made clothing for her mother, siblings and dolls with fabric she picked up at the Five & Dime store. She studied at the Hampton Institute and later the University of Chicago In 1965, she purchased a brownstone in Harlem, New York City, for $8,000. There she founded the Harlem Institute of Fashion in 1966, offering courses in dressmaking, millinery and tailoring.The courses were free with only a $10 registration fee and graduated 4,500 students by 1987. She also founded the National Association of Milliners, Dressmakers and Tailors in 1966. Alexander-Lane opened the Black Fashion Museum in Harlem in 1979 with a $20,000 grant from the National Endowment of the Arts.The original site in Harlem on West 126th Street now houses the William J.
