Conceived by Andre Leon Talley and published on the occasion of an exhibition at the SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah, this book is a tribute to the iconic little black dress and its deeply resonant cultural and social significance in the modern era. Timeless, chic, iconic, and intergral to a woman's wardrobe, the little black dress embodies simple elegance like no other fashion staple. Launched by Coco Chanel's crepe-de-Chine «Ford» model dress in 1926, the little black dress was immortalized by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Today, the little black dress remains the classic fashion piece, however in many marvelous iterations, from refined designs in lace and satin to sleek creations in neoprene. This overview of the little black dress in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries features an impeccable group of more than eighty dresses from the most eminent fashion houses. Talley relates anecdotes about the dresses and the women who wore them, many of them close friends. Three original essays and an illustrated catalogue section with provenance details of every dress complete this exquisite volume.
