What is fondly known as 'the little black dress' was first introduced by the amazingly talented and original Coco Chanel, who emerged as the voice of fashion in the Twenties. Early on in her career she introduced a short, undecorated black dress for evening or cocktail wear. Even today it is considered essential that a lady should own at least one of these practical items of clothing that can be dressed up or down. It still plays a part in fashionable wardrobes after 90 years.
I made two paintings to commemorate an item that is timeless, both vintage and modern!
This is the first painting and is called: 'Le Dance'.
Marie, this is such a fun little blog. I must forward it to my friend who loves this time period. Fun, fun, fun!
ReplyDeleteCarol, I am delighted with your visit. I am not going to 'push' this site among my landscape and still life artist friends! So if they visit of their own accord, I love it. Thank you for telling your friend about it!
ReplyDeleteMarie... beautiful beautiful, and elegant. She reminds me a lot of your beautiful daughter.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debbie, I think Susan can recognize herself in this one!

ReplyDeleteRonelle, I am jealous, as I cannot get near perfume because of allergies, but I can imagine my starry-eyed girl in black wearing it! Bisous M
