That little black dress .... and other things

I actually used to think Coco Chanel invented the "little black dress" until I was re-educated (oh ignorance can be bliss!). But she was instrumental in making it a popular feature in many wardrobes. Simple, short and classic!

By the way, Coco also made women trousers a big thing in he time which has actually continued to today.

Next up, I think has to be Gianni Versace, I think he made most of his clothes for Nigerians (with our equally mad sense of fashion and love of loads of colour). Some of his stuff was way out there but you have to agree that they did stand out.
