Sparkle of the Street: Its Majesty the Little Black Dress

Ako već govorimo o modnim favoritima, počećemo sa svevremenskim komadima koji nikada, ali apsolutno nikada ne izlaze iz mode i koji u nosivi u svim prilikama. Mala crna haljina zauzima posebno mesto među takvim komadima. Na prvi pogled, isuviše jednostavan odevni predmet da bi privukao toliko pažnje. A upravo u toj jednostavnosti je suština.
Smatra se da je privukla pažnju u prvoj polovini prošlog veka, nakon Prvog svetskog rata, kada su žene usled brojnih sahrana bile više prinuđene da je nose nego što je to bilo moderno. Ipak, na velika vrata modnog sveta uvode je dvadesetih godina 20. veka Koko Šanel i Žan Patu sa idejom da je mala crna haljina neophodni komad u garderoberu svake žene. Kratka, jednostavna, elegantnog kroja, prefinjenog materijala, u kombinaciji sa nekim drugim aksesoarima, istovremeno je i efektna. U njoj će svaka dama zablistati.
Koko Šanel je prvi put predstavila 1926. godine u Vogu. Inače, sama Koko je volela najviše u kombinaciji sa biserima, dužine malo ispod kolena i ravnog kroja. Kasnije će se moda menjati, a evolucija male crne haljine donosi nam čuveni Živanšijev model iz legendarnog filma Doručak kod Tifanija koji je proslavila čuvena Odri Hepbern. Njene modne kombinacije u ovom filmu i danas izazivaju pažnju i divljenje istinskih poštovalaca prefinjenosti.
Jedan od faktora koji je doprineo popularizaciji male crne haljine je i njena univerzalnost ne samo u pogledu stila u okviru kojeg se može kombinovati, već i činjenica da može biti od najrazličitijih materijala, te je mogu priuštiti i žene iz različitih socijalnih slojeva. Stoga je i možemo nositi uz šta god poželimo: ravnu obuću, cipele sa štiklom, čizme, teksas košulju, teksas jaknu, kožnu jaknu, sako, ešarpu... Samo je nebo granica. A kroj? Tu tek možemo pustiti mašti na volju! Da bih vas motivisala da odaberete pravi model (ili prave modele) za sebe, možete pogledati ispod neke od mojih omiljenih, ali mnogo više imate na jednoj predivnoj Moj Stil FB stranici na kojoj sam videla božanstvene modele i jednostavno moram da podelim to svoje saznanje sa vama. To je pravi raj za sve modne sladokusce, pogledajte, nećete se pokajati!

If we are discussing fashion favorites, let's start with pieces for all time, which never, absolutely never get outdated and which are suitable in any occasion. The little black dress has an honorable place among them. At first glance, it is so simple a piece of clothing to draw so much attention. But that simplicity is actually the essence of it appeal.
It is believed that it drew attention in the first half of the 20th century, when, due to numerous funerals during and after the First World War, women more had to wear it it wasn't a matter of fashion. However, it came under the spotlight of the fashion world in the 1920's owing to Coco Chanel and Jean Patou who claimed that it was the most essential piece of clothing in every woman's wardrobe. Short, simple, elegantly cut dress of a fine material is very effective at the same time when combined with some other accessories. Every lady will be marvelous in it. Coco Chanel presented it for the first time in Vogue, in 1926. By the way, Coco herself preferred it combined with white pearls, calf-length and straight. After that, the fashion will change and the evolution of the little black dress brings us the famous Givenchy model from the legendary Breakfast at Tiffany's which was celebrated by the magnificent Audrey Hepburn. Her fashon combinations in this movie draw lots of attention and admiration of true sophistication lovers.
One of the factors which contributed the popularization of the little black dress is its universal value not only concerning the style within which it can be combined, but also the fact that it can be made of different materials and therefore affordabe by women from different social classes. Therefore, it could be worn in combinations with basically anything- Flat shoes, heels, boots, denim shirts, denim jackets, suit coats, scarves... The sky is the limit! And the models? Their number is indefinite!
