The black dress has been the foundation of a woman’s wardrobe for centuries. The allure of the black dress has captured the imagination of generations of couturiers and artists and served as the signature of society’s most enviably dressed women. With an essay and images selected by Dr. Valerie Steele, Director and Chief Curator of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, this book features page after uniquely designed page of some of the most compelling dresses in the history of fashion. The presentation is in conjunction with the current exhibit, “The Little Black Dress: Fashion Icon.”
