When designer Coco Chanel unveiled the first real ‘Little Black Dress’ 80 years ago, it caused quite a stir in the world of women’ s fashion.

Now the iconic garment is so ubiquitous it has its own entry in the New Oxford Dictionary and online Wikipedia encyclopedia.

Fashion’s most timeless of octogenarians today remains as much a style statement as it was in its first daring incarnation in 1926 — a symbol of simple, practical chic. With New Year’s Eve celebrations approaching, the LBD, as it is known for short, is likely be the sartorial choice of women of all ages and places, eager to exude elegance or avoid a fashion faux pas. “What she invented is more a ‘principe’, an idea — the fact that a dress can be used in different situations and can be changed by the addition of accessories,” said Paris-based fashion historian, teacher and author Florence Muller.
