The Little Black Dress

It’s amazing to see the evolution of the little black dress over the many years since Chanel made it famous in the 20s. Walking through the new exhibition at SCAD really shows the many ways different designers have recreated this iconic piece of clothing. The Little Black Dress exhibit showcases some premiere designers work and has history and modern dresses all mixed together. It’s interesting to look at all the little details of these dresses because that is the key to making a LBD stand out. I went the night of the opening and it was interesting to hear everyone talking about the different pieces. It gets me to look at the dresses in new ways when I hear another person’s take on the piece. I returned to the exhibit again to take a closer look at all of the gorgeous dresses without the crowds and saw new details that I missed the first time. Overall this exhibition is amazing and I encourage everyone to take their time and just take in all the little elements.
