Originating as a clean-lined, simple, short dress, exemplified by the 1920’s designs of Coco Chanel, the little black dress has endured and evolved over the years. Today, designers put their own spin on this wardrobe staple, creating pieces that are figure-hugging to flowy, long to short, and in a range of materials from high-shine silks to matte wools.

“One is never over-dressed or under-dressed in a little black dress.” - Karl Lagerfeld
