Arabella Churchill organising fashion show

Dec. 10, 1969 - Lepra Launches Fashions for the 70s Tonight Blackboys Model Agency and many of London's top fashion designers have combined to present a Fashion Spectacular. The purpose of the show is to raise funds for Lepra, the British Leprosy Relief Association which works throughout the Commonwealth curing many of the world's 20 million leprosy sufferers. More than 400 guests who have paid £2.10.0 each, will watch 28 black models - both men and women - give a preview of fashions for the Seventies, at Chelsea Town Hall. Photo shows Arabella Churchill, daughter of the late Randolph Churchill and grand-daughter of Sir Winston - who is one of the chief organisers - seen inspecting one of the items modelled by Rene Pierre - a plastic coated jersey with a silver lame shirt, calf-length trousers and floor length coat to match, designed by Tom Gilbey - pictured before this afternoon's dress rehearsal of the Fashion Spectacular
