Your Little Black Dress
“Black is poetic”
“How do you imagine a poet? In a bright yellow jacket? Not.”
Ann Demeulemeester
“Black is Romantic”
As was used by Byron, Shelley, Keats
“I imposed black; it’s still going strong today, for black wipes out everything else around.”
Coco Chanel
Since Coco Chanel’s revolutionary black dress design of 1920s, the black dress has become the most long-lasting, versatile, widely accessible, and simply chic dress of all.
Black is rich with symbolism and at one time it represented wealth among aristocrats and merchants, as it was incredibly expensive to produce the black colour from “imported oak apples.”
In the1920s Chanel reinvented black as the uniform of the high-class, wealthy, and chic and as an essential part of modern fashion..
Many fashion observers state that every woman should own a simple, elegant black dress that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. The little black dress is considered essential to a complete wardrobe. It can be worn with a jacket and pumps as daytime business wear. It can also be worn with ornate jewellery and colourful accessories for evening wear or a formal event.
