DocNight Presents: “Versailles ’73: American Runway Revolution”

DocNight will celebrate, “Versailles ’73: American Runway Revolution” with a limited engagement and Q&A with Director Deborah Riley Draper following the January 31st opening night.

When a group of top African American models boarded a plane to Paris in 1973, they had no idea they would help change the course of fashion. The Grand Divertissement at Versailles pitted French couture fashion against upstart American designers, for the first time, shattering the glass ceiling for ethnic models.
