Minimal, versatile, affordable and elegant: the Little Black Dress has been a timeless staple in every woman’s wardrobe for almost a century as well as paving the way for the fashion philosophy that believes in the “less is more” motto.
Audrey Hepburn once said, “One is never overdressed or underdressed with a little black dress,” and I couldn’t agree more.
If Coco Chanel developed the Little Black Dress revolutionizing what women wore after the Second World War, the evocative iconic power of Audrey’s image mirrored on Tiffany’s display window on the Fifth Av. gave it a timeless allure.
