In our last article “Evolution of little black dress”, we highlighted that the little black dress was invented and made widespread by Coco Chanel.

Although she did not invent the concept, the dress was not formally identified as the shape of the future until her drawing of the little black dress was published in the American vogue.
Since it has become a woman’s must have today, we find it vital to follow the history and design changes of little black dress from 1926, the year it was identified up to date.
Today, we bring you the little black dress version of 1957 to 1962.
