Everything You Need to Know About the Little Black Dress | Vogue

[@sabrinabayonet]

it's so fascinating how much fashion and history are related, these people are truly historians

[@j.rosario9006]

Yes, in fact there is a course with Fashion Marketing/Fashion Design degrees called History of Fashion.

[@hermionem.stavrouli9560]

It should be incorporated in the field of art history in my opinion

[@sagniksarkar5142]

They are artists.

[@prettypleasewithsugarontop4858]

I don't find it frustrating I think it's amazing and so interesting

[@panchish]

while the history and style of the dress is endlessly fascinating i just HAVE to mention the EDITING!! it's all so stylish and keeps my eyes glued with the transitions and visual effects!! superb!!

[@AnaCarolina-dg2tf]

totally agree! I simply LOVED the editing and I couldn't take my eyes off the screen!

Well I suggest you go buy one then 😂 - arguably, its the most versatile item you could have in your closet.

It’s so sad that most of these beautiful maisons devolved into businesses that just sell t-shirts, hoodies and sneakers with oversized logos.

[@charliechuggerz]

Why is that sad. T shirts are comfortable

[@liv97497]

@@charliechuggerz as there's no art or craft to the garment, selling a t-shirt for upwards of $500 just because there's a name on it is a tad bit ridiculous

Livia Marques I guess. But you shouldn’t say mean things just in case people love their t shirt

[@bethanyday3471]

@@charliechuggerz um. no. f**k that. it is extremely sad that most of these wonderfully designers are selling GARBAGE tee shirts and hoodies with ugly a** logos. its LAZY, UGLY, and most of all STUPID. Tshirts are comfortable. "shouldnt say mean things just in case people love their tshirt." get the f**k outta here with that nonsense. i hope all the tsirts in the world are burned. maybe people will start wearing clothes that haven't been considered undergarments for most of our history again.

I can't live without my little black dress😂 I bought it when I was 16 because my mum found that I had to build my wardrobe with essential and timeless clothes. And then this piece is a solution for every my problem.

[@Junee704]

Since when was a ball gown (Billy Porters red carpet moment) considered a little black dress?

[@chunellemariavictoriaespan8752]

Its a "Little (Long) Black Dress"?

yeah i was thinking that too... coz Mahder Aklilu he said that Princess Diana and Billy Porter knew the power of the LBD

[@laurent4122]

I'm surprised Thierry Mugler wasn't mentioned? Not only did he revolutionise contemporary couture by introducing the idea of bespoke to a younger clientele, but his collections had numerous iterations of "the little black dress", especially in an era when black wasn't used heavily in Haute Couture.

[@naomimegacita5824]

No one want to discuss how well made the video and how aesthetic it was?

[@RidingAGrizzly]

It's tragic that only people like us, that is, those "interested in fashion", engage with such content while the rest of the crowd goes around calling us frivolous and vain. Little do they realise the history, poetry, art, craft, creativity, imagination, etc. that goes into "fashion". Then, they also conveniently forget how the fashion industry is not exclusive and heavily influences all our lives every day.

[@SwityShinde]

Would've liked to hear a Henry James reference since he was the one who coined the term in the first place! Coco Chanel sure popularised it but he invented the concept :) (The first time the phrase was used was in 1902 in James' The Wings of the Dove fyi)

[@1dalmighty225]

i thought i was the only one, but coming here screamed at me wrong😂 THE COMMENT SECTION IS FILLED WITH LITTLE BLACK DRESS AND IM FRICKKKIN SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT!❤

Can we get more of these? Maybe like a whole series? Can someone at Vouge contact the creators of “Explained” and do a collection if you will, on fashion and fashion history? Furthermore, if this becomes a thing can I be on the team? Ms. Wintour, Hamish let’s talk about it!
