Wild Child to Couture Style: The Shailah Edmonds Story

In an illustrated Zoom program on Thursday, March 18 at 7PM, Shailah Edmonds will discuss her success as a top model during an era when Black women were excluded from elite runways and will share her insights and experiences in the world of fashion and in the world at large. Recently profiled in the NYT Style Section, Shailah Edmonds was spotted walking down a street in Washington, DC, by a modeling scout in 1977. She went on to become a top international couture model in Paris, working with Yves St. Laurent, Givenchy, Dior, Valentino, Versace, Armani and other designers. Now an actress, singer and modeling coach, Shailah performs regularly with her jazz band in the New York City area. Registration is required, and open to all.
