Little Book of the Little Black Dress

The enduring charm of the little black dress.

Timeless and versatile, the little black dress remains a fashion staple. Coco Chanel introduced this revolutionary style in the 1920s, liberating women from corsets and making it a symbol of freedom. American Vogue aptly labeled it the 'Ford of fashion' for its simplicity, elegance, and affordability – destined to be worn by women worldwide.

This book delves into the captivating journey of the LBD, from Audrey Hepburn's iconic Givenchy sheath in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" to Princess Diana's daring 'revenge dress,' and the contemporary twists like mesh detailing and body-sculpting silhouettes. It's a tribute to the enduring appeal of one of fashion's most iconic pieces.

As fashion luminaries have noted:

• Karl Lagerfield: "One is never underdressed or overdressed with a little black dress."
• Stella McCartney: "A little black dress exudes confidence and effortlessness, combining sexiness with class."
• Carolina Herrera: "The little black dress should be many things – luxurious, sensual, exotic – but above all, it should be simple, little, and black, leaving a lasting impression."

The little black dress, a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate and empower.
