The Little Black Dress regardless of the country, region, or time period has almost always been used by women to express a feeling, or translate a struggle or specific message, like the “revenge dress” worn by Princess Dianna, or the black mourning dress, or Chanel’s black dress which reflected women’s resilience during an economic crisis, or the wear of the black eastern dress as a protection from male gaze or a cultural and social communicator.
The way we want to approach this project is to look at the very origin and purpose of the little black dress as it was created by Gabrielle Chanel and not the entire world of stigmas and stereotypes that has been built surrounding it.
In fact we want to look at the Little Black Dress as a tool, voice, communicator for women, a garment that helps women express a specific feeling or emotion.
We aim to break the narrow and tight box in which the Little Black Dress has been put in throughout history, the little black dress is far more powerful than just a dress every women should have because it’s a symbol of elegance and chicness. No, the black dress is an expression of sadness and mourning, resilience and strength, values and heritage, attitude and confidence. We hope to universalize the black dress as a voice for women to express whatever they want to instead of having it prescribed for them.
The Black Dress is a voice for women, a tool of self expression and empowerment.
