A timeless style icon that will endure
It only takes one little black dress in a woman’s closet to ensure that not a day will go by when she will think “I have nothing to wear”. It’s one of those items–or possibly the only item–that’s suitable for any occasion–a cocktail party, a lunch out with friends, a wedding–you name it. It was even Michelle Obama’s pick for her 17th wedding anniversary.
When you hear “little black dress” you may automatically envision Audrey Hepburn in her long black Givenchy dress, munching on breakfast in front of Tiffany’s. This dress, which she wore for her role as Holly Golightly in the 1961 film, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, was sold at an auction at Christie’s for £410,000 in December 2006. Can you believe a little black dress could be worth that much?
The little black dress dates back even further, actually. Coco Chanel originally made it popular in the 1920s. According to this legendary designer, “Fashions fade, but style remains the same”. Surely, the little black dress will be still be around for many centuries to come.
