Coming To
"Fashion Showcase 72",
featuring the Hamilton Vogue-
Esquire Models of Chicago
comes to Durham, N. C., on
November 11, 1972. During
the 1972 Tour of Sepia Fashion
Fair, the Vogue-Esquire Models
will feature fashion together
ness, as the hemlines are all
stabilized at, or just above the
knee. The major emphasis this
year will be towards the "en
semble", look, that is clearly
putting fashions back together
again. This is the fashion cru
sade for the "72" fashion sea
son. This deliberate swing
away from the separates bus
iness means a dress now always
steps out under escort, with its
own coat or jacket in the same
color or fabric, or both. The
menace of head to foot match
ing mania is in the air, and
colors settle into a monochrome
mood. These will be the order
of fashions when Sepia Fashion
Fair comes to Durham Nov.l 1.
Colors for the "72" Fashion
Season range from bright or
ange, cobalt blue, to sharp
greens to fuschiapurple.
Director Carlton M. Hamil
ton has canvassed the fashion
houses to bring you one of the
most stunning fashion present
ations that you will ever see.
Every ensemble was jtersonally
selected and coordinated by
Director Hamilton. There are
no giggles or gimmicks in the
show this year, just pure fash
ion excitement, and an abun-
dance of outstanding designer
creations that will delight my
lady's fashion senses. Fashions
for the man will also be a rare
treat for the ladies, as beautiful
attire for the male will be
expertly shown by two top
Sepia Male Models.
