Review Quotes:
"Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell's Red, White, and Blue on the Runway is a lively and detailed account of a little-known fashion show held in 1968. [She] effectively connects the fashion, politics, and history of the turbulent 1960s, while broadening our understandings of a First Lady too long overshadowed by her husband." --H-Net Reviews
"First Lady Lady Bird Johnson knew the importance of fashion, and with her keen interest she made efforts to bring this conversation directly into the halls of the White House." --Jennifer Highfield, President and CEO of National First Ladies' Library
"Lady Bird Johnson, a most pragmatic and sensible Texan, was disinclined to devote much time and effort to the pursuit of Megapolitan fashion 'froufrou.' Red, White, and Blue on the Runway traces the evolution of this First Lady into a supporter of the fashion industry and recounts with fascinating insider detail the unique American-themed fashion show at the White House in the tumultuous year of 1968." --Susan W. Greene, author of Wearable Prints, 1760-1860: History, Materials, and Mechanics
