The little black dress, commonly referred to as the
LBD—has been an iconic symbol of classy, simplistic
date-night attire since the mid 20s. The word chic comes
to mind when women decide to bring back this sensual
staple. But it wasn’t until Coco Channel, the legendary
French fashion designer, had her drawings published
in Vogue America in 1926 that the little black dress
would make its way into the closets of all fashionable
women around the world. At the time Coco’s vision
was revolutionary, introducing a shorter hemline to
the Modern Woman. Famous actresses were the early
adapters of the trend, followed by high-profile women
such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Jaqueline
Kennedy and even the Duchess of Windsor, renowned
for her sense of style and her ability to influence the
world of fashion.
