<\/h2>\n

A little black dress<\/b> is an evening or cocktail dress,\u00a0cut simply and often quite short. Fashion historians\u00a0ascribe the origins of the little black dress to the 1920s designs of Coco Chanel\u00a0and Jean Patou\u00a0intended to be long-lasting, versatile, affordable, accessible to the widest market possible and in a neutral colour. Its ubiquity is such that it is often simply referred to as the “LBD”.
\nSince the 20’s the little black dress has aged gracefully through fashion history, without a single wrinkle. From Coco Chanel to Alber Elbaz, every designer has created their own distinct version of the lbd, in their own perfect style over years.
\nThe lbd is certainly\u00a0timeless, essential and iconic. Every woman should have a lbd in her closet since it is a piece so versatile that can be worn on every occasion, from day to night with small alterations.<\/p>\n
