With a brand new eponymous exhibit, the Mona Bismarck American Center in Paris is rendering homage this summer to the most famous of female garments.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nWherever she is now, Coco Chanel is definitely puffing on a cigarette in satisfaction. 87 years after launching the Little Black Dress trend, the \u201cFord dress\u201d as it was nicknamed in 1926 by Vogue, it still forms the basis of any female wardrobe. From July 3rd to September 22nd, the eternal little black dress will be stripped down at Paris\u2019 Mona Bismarck American Center through fifty different models from every era and style. Organized by the Savannah College of Art and Design Museum of Art (SCAD) in conjunction with Andr\u00e9 Leon Talley, editor for American Vogue and auctioneer for the event, this exhibit will retrace the history of this feminine wardrobe classic, from its debuts as the \u201cpoverty of luxury\u201d to its advent as an iconic piece.<\/p>\n<p>Far from having invented the Little Black Dress, Coco Chanel rather adapted a garment that many women were already wearing in that era. After WWI, a number of these women were in mourning. In a moment of genius, Chanel made a simple black dress, an elegant piece. Modest in its style as well as its shape, the fashion newcomer caused a scandal with its pious black color that contrasted with its knee-length trim. Hardly enthusiastic towards Chanel\u2019s moderate style, Paul Poiret belittled the creations and nicknamed them the \u201cpoverty of luxury\u201d. But less is more, and this dress was a crowd pleaser. With its simple style, it was just as easily made a day dress as a soir\u00e9e get-up according to the accessories one paired with it.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since, fashion designers have continued to reinterpret this iconic piece. From Givenchy to Azzedine Ala\u00efa and more accessible brands like Sandro and Zara in between, the Little Black Dress is discreetly imposing, incarnating what Jean Cocteau once said about Chanel\u2019s style: \u201cthe nobility of silence in the face of fashionable noise\u201d. According to Andr\u00e9 Leon Talley, the Little Black Dress exhibit will be constructed around different depictions of the garment, at first a simple piece of fabric, then a contemporary symbol thanks to the incorporation of new shades and textures. Re-releasable to infinity, Fran\u00e7oise Sagan has turned it into prose while Guerlain has made it into a fragrance, both simply named after the original French title: \u201cla petite robe noire\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Legend has it that at a party, Paul Poiret asked Coco, who was wearing a little black dress, \u201cWhat are you mourning Mademoiselle?\u201d \u201cYou, Monsieur!\u201d she responded. Indeed, Poiret\u2019s Sch\u00e9h\u00e9razade came and went; as for the little black dress? It\u2019s immortal.<\/p>\n<p>\nExposition Little Black Dress<br \/>\nFrom 03 July to 22 Septembre 2013<br \/>\nMona Bismarck American Center for Art and Culture<br \/>\n34 avenue de New York<br \/>\n75 016 Paris<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As black as a painter\u2019s blank canvas is white, the Little Black Dress is an endless source of inspiration that will never go out of style.
