About Us

10 mil LIPSTICKS SOLD IN 4 YEARS
4 mil PHOTOS IN THE ARCHIVES

FASHION FAIR is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson Publishing Company, LLC and was created for women of color by the late Eunice W. Johnson, the creator of the Ebony Fashion Fair Show. As a pioneering businesswoman, Johnson took the risk that most major cosmetic companies refused to take by entering the untapped market of makeup for women of color.

The Archives

THE JPC ARCHIVE comprises photographic prints, negatives and color transparencies totaling approximately 4 million images and 10,000 video assets, most dating from 1945 to present. It contains images reproduced in JPC’s publications as well as unpublished works created by staff photographers and freelancers, and JPC owns reproduction rights to the majority of the images produced by staff photographers. The photographs depict historically significant events as well as slice-of-life-moments, personalities and celebrities, politics and politicians, activist movements and everyday Americans whose anniversaries and achievements were celebrated in the pages of JET and EBONY magazines.
