Black is Back
December 11th, 2008
In this time of austerity, black is the new black. It fits the mood, makes you look thinner and taller, and can save you money…I’m going to guess you already own more than a few things in black and won’t have to add very many items to your wardrobe to be in style.
Fashionista Fact:
“____ is the new black” started with the legendary Vogue editor Diana Vreeland in 1962, when she observed that “shocking pink is the navy blue of India.” Vreeland was commenting on the copious use of pink as the base color for much of the attire in India, much like navy blue at that time the core color of most outfits in New York City. In the late 1970’s the expression changed to “X is the new neutral” which morphed in the 1980’s to “X is the new black.”
