It is interesting to know that there weren’t many women in fashion back in the 1920’2. I know that women were mostly stay at home moms back then, but I never thought about the fact that men were controlling how women dressed. Then are women’s fashion would probably be very different today. Fashion is a whimsical lady, so the creations of designers have no long life, and very few can survive their creator.

However, by the mid-1920s, the little black dress emerged as a fashion icon. It made its first fashionable appearance as a slim-fitting dress, worn at evenings out, cocktail parties, and dinners. By the 1930s, it was an essential 20th-century garment, with blue jeans and a T-shirt.

The screw on the clasp will have a flat or star head — never a Phillips head. The zipper should have the Lampo logo on the back of the slider, and the bag should come in a duster bag with the Chanel logo printed in white in the center. The diamond-pattern quilting on the bag should be flawless and perfectly aligned, even where there’s a pocket.

As a fashion icon she will be remembered for her use of jersey fabrics in day wear complete with useful pockets, her Naval influence with sailor stripes and wide pants, her iconic Chanel purse, and the famous little black dress. For historians however, she will be remembered as the woman who made her way in life with the patronage of extremely influential men and their money, and for her infamous connections with anti-Semitism and the Nazi party during the war. Chanel never married, but had many high-profile sexual liaisons in a time where, for the affluent, moral boundaries were for other people, it seems. Aside from the rumours of her alleged love child, passed off as the son of her sister, Chanel left no heirs. Chanel’s personal fortune and influence was far-reaching, despite her less than glamorous beginnings.

Her influence continues to inspire many designers and her “little black dress” will continue to be an iconic piece of art, history, and fashion. But she introduced an entirely different concept of women’s fashion to the world. In the years before 1919, fitted vibrant colored clothing was the signature look, where black or dark clothing were only worn at funerals and at times of mourning.

Gabreille “Coco” Chanel changed the way woman dressed, who would have known that a gas flame explosion inspired the famous Little Black Dress. A dress in which many women all over the world have hanging in their closets.

Andre is thought by some to have been not Julia’s child, but Coco’s from her relationship with Balsan.

The sensational singing group was hugely popular worldwide, and Posh Spice’s Little Black Dress once again made the style relevant to a new generation of girls and women everywhere. As theAtlantic later pointed out, in the world of poor, early 20th century Paris, little black dresses were nothing new. They were the mandatory uniforms for working-class women that Coco Chanel had grown up with.

"It was a dress" concluded the Atlantic, "reserved exclusively for those who could 'afford' to look poor by pretending that they simply couldn't be bothered with fashion." Today, the dress remains as popular as it was a century ago. And like great wine – the little black dress gets better with age. Take this must-have dress from classic to sexy, from day to night, or casual to dressy with accessories alone.
