A Scintillating Lauren Bacall Artifact
An impossibly cool 1968 CBS-TV special frames current Fashion Institute of Technology exhibit.
In 1968, CBS-TV broadcast a one-hour prime time special titled Paris Collections Fall Fashion Preview. Hosted by Lauren Bacall, the program showcased the work of designers Pierre Cardin, Emanuel Ungaro, Yves Saint Laurent and Marc Bohan.
The opening clip above, provided by Oregon’s The Archives, LLC, is part of the current Fashion Institute of Technology exhibit Lauren Bacall: The Look running through April 4. Bacall started donating garments and accessories to the FIT the same year that special aired, gifting the school in total with 22 batches of goodies through 1986.
