Before and in the 1920's wearing black or dull clothes was typically worn only during funerals and for muorning for the death of a loved one. However, this suddenly changed when Choco Chanel showcased a black dress on the front page of the Vogue Magazine in 1926. It was simple, yet elegant. Breathtaking. Women loved its simplicity and its comfortability. In a time where fashion wasn't affordable, the sales went crazy. Poor women could walk around like millionaires on the street. It has even been worn by famous actresses, most notably Audrey Hepburn in 1961.
