Little black dress.

  As a shade, black has so many possibilities to be. It could be elegant, could be negative, could be mystery or could be unknown, unlimited or any other neutral feeling. So does white, people usually said white is a new black, actually these 2 contrast shades include the meaning of whole universe, they are nothing, they are anything.  
   Modern women love wearing black outfits because they are suitable of any type of event. Especially little black dress solved a lot of problems of dressing , also it make women look very chic and suave. It is unbelievable that black dress used to be the special outfit of funeral or widow during Victorian era, but now it became an daily essential style already. As you know that Coco Chanel made this avant modification in 1920s. LBD didn’t only create a eternal trend for fashion industry, but also it was a big progress of modern women’s culture histories. So the theme of this time is “the beginning of LBD style”. Actually Coco’s style has been featured in my blog by many times, but I couldn’t avoid her name when I talk about golden age. What influenced 1920s culture? As I said before: Expressionism and Surrealism, silent film and jazz perform, Art Deco and Coco.
