My Inspiration
Mrs. Eunice Walker Johnson
Inspired by the bold, resilient spirit of the first lady of the Ebony Magazine and the founder of the Ebony Fashion Fair, Mrs. Eunice Walker Johnson, I launched the concept of the Fashion, Culture, and More Tours. During the late 1950s, Mrs. Johnson traveled to the fashion capitals of the world visiting ateliers acquiring couture items to be worn on the Ebony Fashion Fair runways. Mrs. Johnson’s presence was unexpected and often unwelcomed, but she persisted. Fast-forward to today, there still is a need for further diversification within the global fashion industry. Hence, my goal is to continue Mrs. Johnson’s vision of traveling the world with women of color, experiencing fashion and culture while reminding others of the significant role women of color play as fashion consumers, designers, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts.
The London Fashion Week Tour hosted by Sophisticated Curation, scheduled for September 16 to September 23, 2023, is a fashion and culture excursion for women of color to bond while partaking in the fashions of emerging, sustainable, African, Caribbean, and UK heritage designers. We will also immerse ourselves in the history and cultural aspects of Black people in London.
XOXO, Jacqui
