Eartha Kitt poses with a mannequin at Roxanne's Dress Shop (which she was a business-partner in), portrait by Ebony magazine photographer Moneta Sleet Jr., New York, 1956. The gowns both Eartha and the mannequin are wearing were from Kitt's personal wardrobe, designed for her by Beverly Hills couturier Don Loper who created the gowns for her cabaret act in 1954. Loper is best remembered for playing himself during a showcase of his fashions in the I Love Lucy episode entitled The Fashion Show in 1955 and for introducing Judy Garland to her second husband, director Vincente Minnelli, when Loper worked at MGM as an assistant to producer Arthur Freed in the early-1940s. The black gown worn by the mannequin, which had a Don Loper label sewn inside stating it was custom made for Eartha on July 13th, 1954, sold at auction in 2016 for $5,100.
