With these two major changes on the rise, designer Coco Chanel dared to create a garment that was comfortable, versatile and confident. In 1926, she introduced the little black dress to the world. Calf-length, straight, made with crepe de chine and minimalist with only a few diagonal lines, the design was nicknamed “Chanel’s Ford” because it transcended social classes.
