Here Ann sits elegantly with one of this lovely sky blue and black lace dress being modeled behind her.

This lovely gown exclusively made for a debutante.

This dress is my favorite. It is the same dress shown above with Ann. I love to pair this dress with long elegant white gloves, it would be smashing!

This elegant dress still looks fresh today.

Another sweet debutante ball dress.

This confection of a dress was worn by Jacqueline Bouvier on her wedding to future president John F. Kennedy.

Ann is reported to have said she was motivated by two things: her love of fashion and to show African American fashion designers can create beautiful clothes too.
