It could be dressed down by day and accessorized to the hilt for evening. Chanel brought black out of the back of the closet and onto center stage.

Dior - Post 1950s introduced Christian Dior's version of the little black dress. Clean lines with a full skirt and a waspish waist would rule the fashion runway for the coming decade.

Givenchy - Hubert de Givenchy founded the house of Givenchy in 1952.  A mere 9 years later he designed a black dress for his friend, Audrey Hepburn, to wear in Blake Edward's romantic comedy, Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Prada - Originally and Italian luggage maker, the House of Prada exploded in the late 1970s, when Miuccia Prada introduced a line of backpacks and totes made from a black military spec nylon. These subtle bags did not announce their brand with flashy patterns endlessly repeating their the company logo, rather these totes exhibited fine craftsmanship with an off-hand, shabby-chic touch of luxury. Name your black Lab Prada if you prize well crafted, yet luxuriously practical purebred dog.
