Reinventing the LBD


Coco Chanel is responsible for the invention of the little black dress. 1920 saw the use of black being used a medium of fashion rather than a way to symbolize the death of a loved one. A LBD is regarded as a must have within any women's wardrobe due to the fact it suits any style and any size and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Hannah Marshall has been labelled 'The queen of the little black dress' for her reinvention of the classic silhouette. Her dresses have an undeniable gothic chic feel to them whilst remaining feminine and minimalist, a design that can still suit all. By Marshall revamping a timeless piece I feel that it has enabled her to reach a wide audience of women.
