Retro Fashion Icon: October 15 is “I Love Lucy” Day

I cannot begin to tell you just how much I love Lucille Ball.  Ever since I was 7 years old I have watched and collected anything ” I Love Lucy” I can get my hands on.  I will never forget the day I saw my first “Lucy” episode. T.V., much like today, was nothing but garbage. When my mom tried to find something for me to watch nothing was appropriate.  When we came across a black and white picture on the screen, well let’s just say the rest is history.

On October 15th, 1951 the first episode of the iconic show, “I Love Lucy,” aired. On this day there’s plenty to celebrate –  the impact Lucille Ball had on women in the arts, her influences on comedy as an art form and on women’s role in society – the list goes on…. And when we celebrate all these things about Lucy, we cannot forget that Lucy did it all in a fashionable fashion (and with a funny face of course)!

 

Although, she might not immediately come to mind when you think “fashion icon,” think about where your indelible association with 1950’s and polka dots come from!
