Little Black Dress
Scheherazade is easy. The little black dress is hard. - Coco Chanel
When women think of classic fashions, the little black dress, also known as the LBD, is sure to come to mind. Every woman has at least one. Some have many. The little black dress is a wardrobe staple, one of the most versatile pieces of clothing you can own. Spanning the entire breadth of fashion and all seasons and occassions, it's one piece of clothing no woman should be without. The LBD has stood firm in the fashion industry for the best part of a century.
It was during the 20's that the legendary fashion designer Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel first stitched her name into the history of women's clothing design. In fact, Chanel's designs are often considered to be the epitome of the 20's style because her work was so fresh, modern, and updated.
WHERE YOU CAN WEAR YOUR LITTLE BLACK DRESS:
o For office wear or a business lunch, low-heeled pumps, an Italian silk scarf and a gold bracelet render an elegant and unfussy appearance. Tres chic!
o A date at the ballet calls for some sparkle - gold or silver jewelry, belts, scarves, hair or shoe ornaments, a beaded or sequined shawl lends a sophisticated feel to the ensemble. Key to a show-stopping look is less is more. A single spectacular pendant diamond necklace and matching earrings will do the trick.
o Clubbing? Here's an open frontier for the little black dress. Dig out those red stilettos and the jewel-toned belt. Maybe a red lamé bolero as a wrap will finish the look.
o What about shopping? If you're shopping for jewelry, jackets, coats, shoes or hats, the LBD is the perfect backdrop. It goes with everything,and lets you see the possibilities of whatever fashion partner you have in mind. The fabulous magenta velvet hat just won't show so well with your pleated plaid skirt. The little black dress offers the latitude of vision you need to see the virtues of that Renaissance-style necklace, or faux-fur jacket that would simply not be apparent with a turquoise linen pantsuit.
