Description
The first black woman to star in a major motion picture, Josephine Baker was a beauty ahead of her time. From her start as one of the most celebrated headliners in Paris to her courageous contributions during the civil rights movement in the US, where she refused to perform for segregated audiences, Josephine Baker became known as the Creole Goddess, and the Black Venus during her romp through the Jazz Age. This dress (LC155), ready for the big stage and featuring a satin under-dress trimmed in chiffon, recaptures the essence of the Fabulous Miss Baker.
