The Little Black Dress - BBC iWonder

 

 

For centuries, black clothes were associated with mourning or mystery and piety. In 1926 all that changed when Coco Chanel used the colour in fashion, and the little black dress was born.

Chanel created a garment that was meant to be elegant but wearable, neutral in colour, long-lasting and versatile.

Almost a century, and numerous reinventions later, few women are without some version of an enduring style icon.
