The iconic dress that has stood the test of time. Contemporary yet classic, the little black dress never goes out of style. Popularized by Coco Chanel in the 1920s, the style freed women from the corset and became the epitome of liberation. Dubbed the 'Ford of fashion' by American Vogue , it was simple, stylish and affordable – 'the frock that all the world will wear'. Tracing the fascinating evolution of the LBD, from Audrey Hepburn's sleek Givenchy sheath in Breakfast at Tiffany's or Princess Diana's rebellious 'revenge dress' right through to the mesh detailing and body-sculpting shapes of recent years, this little book is a celebration of one of fashion's most iconic garments. 'One is never under dressed or over dressed with a little black dress.' Karl Lagerfield 'A little black dress is something to rely on. To fill you with confidence and ease. To have an attitude that is pure and effortless, yet sexy and classy.' Stella McCartney 'The little black dress must be luxurious, rich, sensual, diaphanous, exotic, severe, lush, demure, demanding, frivolous, amusing, and it must linger in memory, but above all, it must be simple and little and black.' Carolina Herrera Review: Cute little book but wrong color - I wanted a boutique-like feel in my master closet so this book was perfect but it came in the color pink, not Tiffany blue as advertised. Review: Wrong color and damaged book - The color I thought I was buying was that blueish green, not pink. But the problem is actually the fact that the book is damaged on the cover and just looks dirty and has irregular texture. I do want a reimbursement for this product.

Cute little book but wrong color
I wanted a boutique-like feel in my master closet so this book was perfect but it came in the color pink, not Tiffany blue as advertised.

Buying for colour scheme
If you are buying this to match your colour scheme it is a pink book and not pale blue

A bit disappointing....
I was looking forward to this book but I expected more depth with more written and photographic content. I learned a few things but it fell short of my expectations.
