Why every girl needs a LITTLE BLACK DRESS

History of The Little Black Dress

In the 1900’s the colour black was predominantly saw as a mourning colour or a colour for the lower class, stereotypically meaning designers would steer clear of designing a garment with such a controversial colour due to its negative connotations. However, Vogue also commented on the little black dress saying that it would become "a sort of uniform for all women of taste” this allowed Chanel to move away from the distaste of the colour black and reinvent black to a colour of the wealthy and classy woman. The new fashion horizon took the colour away from mourning and implemented it into haute couture. As Coco Chanel herself said, "I imposed black; it's still going strong today, for black wipes out everything else around.”
