There are not so long, Norma published a painting by John White Alexander on his blog. Then I remembered how much I loved his painting, his female portraits, this movement, this living made dresses, as pretty as the brisk wind and cool in the ship sails ... The Art of John White Alexander is a totally lyric. I suggest you enter the painting so subtle ...
John White Alexander was born in 1856 in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania (city annexed to Pittsburgh in 1907). Orphaned at a very young age, he was raised by his grandparents. At age 12, John entered the world of work, he was young telegrapher in Pittsburgh, but his talent for drawing attracted the attention of one of his employers, who helped develop.
Then in 1875, at the age of 18 years, John White Alexander moved to New York and entered the drafting of weekly of Harper brothers to work as an illustrator and political cartoonist, along with Joseph Pennell , Howard Pyle , Edwin Austin Abbey and other famous American illustrators. After these two years of learning and achievement, he sailed to Europe.
Located a hundred years, the black dress was dark and depressing. It was more than the traditional dress of mourning for widows mourning their dead husbands sure that will not a'knocking late at night. Fortunately, the great Coco Chanel had a vision, and in 1926 alone saved the black dress its morbid reputation. Since then, it has been reinvented LBD, the little black
celebrity dress. The rest, one might say, is fashion history. Here is a look at the top 10 most memorable of all time LBD.
10. At first glance, it seems that no more than a piece of black fabric held together with safety pins giants. He was dressed in Versace Elizabeth Hurley before 1994 Four Weddings and a Funeral. E 'was literally a little black dress, and it is certainly memorable, no matter how it was later criticized. It paved the way for the short-term trend and now defunct giant safety pin (do not forget that those who are yet).
9. It is difficult to make a list without Kirsten Dunst made an appearance. In this case, who can forget the number Rodarte oh-so feminine that led to Spider-Man 3 for the first London 2007? E 'was almost eerie how the LBD contrast to his pale skin naturally, completing a look that was romantic, ethereal, and incredibly soft.
8. Halle Berry had a style of its own, even before he became THE Halle Berry. He turned his head back in the price Soap Opera Digest 1992, just waltz when wearing a strapless, poufy, full skirt LBD that looked suspiciously like a Karl Lagerfeld creation. It could have been almost unknown, but he had the press scrambling for photos!
7. Very few people can pull a dress that looks like something the fish, but Gwyneth Paltrow was the Iron Man of 2008 in Rome. Gwyneth stunned onlookers when she arrived on the red carpet wearing a particularly delicate Jean Paul Gaultier creation. At first glance, it seemed shockingly transparent - a surprise, since it is always wise Ms. Paltrow
6. If there is a person who is often seen in Black dresses in abundance, it is Reese Witherspoon. Seen promoting her film Rendition Film Festival in Toronto a form-fitting strapless Jean Paul Gaultier creation, Reese looked incredibly elegant and steam. Including diamonds in abundance, Christian Louboutin peep-toe pumps, and compression, Jake Gyllenhaal's appearance is nothing historical.
5. Of course, who can forget the black lace dress cocktail immortalized by Julia Roberts in the fairy tale to end all fairy tales, Pretty Woman? It is a classic. I've said enough.
4. Who would have thought that a star would be caught dead wearing something that was originally intended for recycling? Well, apparently it could happen, just like black bandage dress Cindy Crawford wore for the 100th anniversary of Vogue in 1993. Since it was created by Herve Leger in 1985, the dress was a return number.
3. Diabolique - the best word to describe LBD Nicole Kidman at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2005. With a simple bodice, gorgeous diamond-studded, belts and a backside that teases, the Azzaro creation is no less beautiful!
2. Of course, you can not have a list without LBD Victoria Beckham in it. From his days with the Spice Girls to his lady Beckham fame, it seems that Posh can not be seen without one for a long time. Who can miss the be-ribboned Giambattista Valli dress she wore to the TomKat wedding in 2006? Philip Treacy hat is unforgettable.
1. Finally, who can forget the legendary little black dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1961? Sold for 410,000 at auction in 2006, this little black Givenchy dress is undoubtedly a star in its own right!
Undoubtedly, LBD are eternal. And I owe it all to a woman named Coco.
