Go Black

It's simple, it's sexy, and this season it's everywhere. Since Coco Chanel declared it the essential staple for women's wardrobes in the 1920s, the little black dress has been the ultimate in fashion. This season, designers' variationson the timeless classic give you the chance to personalize it for your own look. Whether you want a modern shape for a night out or a taste of Audrey Hepburn-style elegance, these chic frocks never go out of style.
