CJ Walker Description
C.J. Walker was known in Harlem as Madame Walker.

Sheﾒs fashionably dressed in a lavender gabardine suit with a wide lavender satin collar, and pencil skirt. The jacket is finished with lavender satin trim and is worn over an ivory georgette blouse with a high neck ruffle. The skirt features a zip in the back. She wears a wide-brimmed, lavender gabardine hat trimmed with green and black feathers. Nude pantyhose, black ankle strap high heels, gold stud earrings, a green and gold bead double necklace and long, gold bead wrap necklace completes C.J. Walkerﾒs ensemble.
