Some of you are too young to remember the Ebony Fashion Fair Tour when it was at its peak. Thousands of people turned out in every city to see the most beautiful black models and urban fashions on display. For many fans, the Ebony Fashion Fair was the only opportunity to see dozens of top black, biracial and mixed race models in one place.
Thanks to loyal reader and former Fashion Fair model Ashley Buckhalter (pictured up top with Keri) for sending these pics of singer Keri Hilson at the 51st Reunion of Ebony Fashion Fair!

Hi Sandra,
Over the past 51 years, ebony fashion fair toured the world as the largest traveling fashion show. This past weekend was the reunion. Models from the past 50 years gathered to celebrate the ebony and jet magazine tour. I’m surprised this wasn’t mentioned on social media. The tour helped raise millions for organizations throughout the world. Attached are photos from the event. Many celebrities attended the event including Keri Hilson. Her mom was a former Ebony fashion fair model.
