EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic jumpsuit worn by the talented Diahann Carroll on the groundbreaking television show "Julia" from 1968 to 1971. Designed by the renowned costume designer William Travilla, this jumpsuit exudes elegance and style. The halter neckline beautifully frames Carroll's face, while a large bow in the front adds a touch of femininity. The wide legs of the jumpsuit not only provide comfort but also create a sense of sophistication and glamour. As an African-American actress, singer, model, and activist, Diahann Carroll played a pivotal role in breaking barriers within the entertainment industry. Her portrayal of Julia Baker on this show marked one of the earliest instances where black actors were given leading roles in major studio films. Carroll rose to prominence through her exceptional performances in movies like "Carmen Jones" (1954) and "Porgy and Bess" (1959). This print serves as both a testament to her talent and an important artifact representing black history within American culture. Preserved at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this jumpsuit is part of our cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations. It symbolizes progress towards equality while reminding us of Carroll's significant contributions to film and television. As we admire this exquisite piece created with crepe synthetic fiber fabric adorned with metal closures, let it serve as a reminder that art has always been instrumental in shaping society's perception and understanding across racial boundaries.
