Publisher's Note
From Betty Boop to Audrey Hepburn--celebrate the little black dress and explore how this enduring symbol of womanhood has influenced contemporary fashion, art, literature, and film.

Images of the little black dress abound, and in The Little Black Dress by Amy Holman Edelman, more than a hundred of these visual references are shown in all their short, black, sleek, chic glory in fashion, film, art, and advertising from 1926 up to the present. In her text, which, for the first time, gives a cultural/social history of this loaded fashion symbol, Edelman discusses the little black dress's history, which is all tied up with the connotation of the color black and a woman's psychological and fashion emancipation. For the book, the author has interviewed designers such as Karl Lagerfeld, Hubert de Givenchy - designer of Hepburn's dress in Breakfast at Tiffany's - Donna Karan, and Isaac Mizrahi as well as fashion historians and editors. With its evocative photographs and its up-to-the-minute textual history, The Little Black Dress will appeal to fashion insiders, culture watchers, everyone who owns a little black dress, and those who wish they had one.
