Summary: Velvet and lace, large earrings and luscous evening attire. The holidays are still about glitter, shimmer, and glitz but the tip this season is "Express Yourself!"

Since 1926, the basic 'little black dress' is the ideal blank canvas, providing a minimalist undertone for a wide range of fashion statements:

 

  1. Coco Chanel designs the first little black dress in 1926
  2. Audrey Hepburn (Breakfast at Tiffany's) ingites a craze for little black dresses.
  3. Jackie Kennedy elevates it to haute couture status with her Givenchy designs
  4. Karl Langerfeld's 1987 collection features a black vinyl/polyester jersey version.
  5. fetishistic black vinyl and black polyester jersey combination

You decide the style, length, fabric ... but you can't choose the color.
