Black and White Style Show, Pawnee Bill Ranch

On October 24, 2015 at 2:00 p.m., the Pawnee Bill Ranch will host a Black and White style show. The style show will feature an array of local models of all ages modeling nearly 75 pieces clothing from a golden age of American fashion—the 1920s. The 1920s were a time of great cultural change and these changes were reflected in dramatic shifts in fashion. Clothing from 1900–1940 will also be featured.

The style show will be narrated by Martha Ray, former director of historic homes for the Oklahoma Historical Society. She will provide historical context for the garments and also offer detailed commentary on each piece worn. The clothing in the show will be black, white, or a combination of black and white.

Many of the pieces were given to Ray by a local business when new owners started cleaning out their building and found original dresses from the time period with the price tags still on them. The garments are in near perfect condition and these original pieces as well as reproduction articles of clothing will be shown. Care has been taken to ensure that the fabric and styles of the reproductions are true to the time period. Models also will wear period appropriate accessories and other colors will be utilized as accents.

Reservations are recommended for the style show. The fee is $5 per person. Please call 918-762-2513 for more information or to make a reservation. The Pawnee Bill Ranch is located one-half mile west of Pawnee on U.S. Highway 64.
