New York Fashion Week: Death To The Little Black Dress

Sep 15, 2011Fashion

Proenza Schouler are the latest causalities in the Print War of 2012.

Get out your mothballs ladies (and those few men) for Spring has sprung and the Little Black Dress is nowhere to be found. Lord knows there are plenty of printed dresses and surely it is safe to say that white is the new black. (Both in fashion AND politics, sadly.) But if you are one who believes in the power of the L.B.D., then you need to move off Fashion-Main Street for a bit and hide. Be sure to keep your tasteful, always appropriate, L.B.D. in a plastic zippered, hanging bag with mothballs until it is safe to come back to town. Say next September. The thought of the endless images from next summer’s Hamptons events with every socialite and visiting starlet swathed in the dizzying array of printed dresses and jumpsuits shown this week is already giving me a headache. One can only hope that this is not the case in Paris and Milan.
