“Before me, no one would have dared to dress in black.….. A black so deep, so noble that once seen, it stays in the memory forever.”
—Chanel
It was about when Chanel said: “At about that time, I remember contemplating the auditorium at the Opera from the back of a box…those reds, those greens, those electric blues made me feel ill. These colors are impossible. These women, I’m bloody well going to dress them in black…. I imposed black; it’s still going strong today, for black wipes out everything else around.” She recounted this memory to Paul Morand, her friend and confident.
Chanel did not think all the bright colors she saw were suited to couture as did her rival at the time, couturier Paul Poiret. He had flooded the market with flashy colors and flamboyant designs. She felt they were more suited for the stage. In direct reference to her thoughts about Poiret’s fashions that she found distasteful, were that they were not chic saying: “…the richer the dress, the poorer it becomes.”

The little black dress is considered essential to a complete wardrobe.

For example, the LBD can be worn with a jacket and pumps for daytime business wear. It can also be worn with ornate jewelry and accessories for evening wear or a formal event such as a wedding or ball.
