- Classic Black Dress -
Hello everyone, today is more of our aesthetic moment!
Reprinted from our new title [Chen Yiding Ding], in a few minutes, we can enjoy the classics of the fashion circle together, which not only broadens the horizon, but also enhances the aesthetics.
Every time I talk about the classics of the fashion circle, everyone will say small black dresses, such as Diana's revenge skirt and Hepburn's Tiffany breakfast skirt.
But many people also think that black dresses are too dull to get their beauty. So today, let's nominate 3 classic black and gold dresses of the beautiful fashion circle, and let's feel their timeless charm.
CHANEL
BLACK CHAIN DRESS
▍ Noble cold black swan
The first one is to talk about the most classic black and gold dress style in many people's minds, and it is also a representative of Chanel's golden age - CHANEL black gold chain skirt.
- CHANEL Haute Couture S/S 1992 -
▲ This dress is almost perfect, and every place is impeccably beautiful.
During this period, Karl cleverly integrated the exaggerated jewelry into the shape, using a simple and atmospheric background color to suppress the high-profile and flashy jewelry, adding a psychedelic and luxurious temperament to the classical and elegant clothing, complementing each other.

S/S 1992
This flamboyant, modern and elegant temperament, one of Chanel's most iconic styles, is a testament to Miss Coco Chanel's phrase "La mode se démode, le style jamais".
Before this classic was designed, Lafayette also created some black and gold dresses, this dazzling gorgeous style has a strong visual impact, beautiful and luxurious, unquestionable, giving people a sense of surprise that cannot be ignored.
F/W 1987
F/W 1990
▲ These two sets of black and gold look are also classic, have you seen it?
Of course, after the chain skirt of the 1992 supermodel Christy Turlington upper body, this black and gold dress style became the top 1 that most people could not surpass.
The brilliant rubies on the chest, coupled with the gorgeous feathered headdress, resemble mysterious and noble black swans, are very representative of the style of Chanel's golden age.
Many people only think that this is a particularly beautiful dress, but in fact it is very significant. It once again pushed Chanel's costume jewellery to new heights.
Before Madame Chanel, the nobles wore only real gemstones, and no one ever considered such clothing jewelry. But Ms Chanel broke that rule, arguing that "jewelry should be the finishing touch to clothing."
She designed a large number of gemstones, fake pearls and precious metals, single-handedly opening up this new field of fashion.
In 1992, Karl designed this black and gold dress, which once again won the attention of the entire fashion circle.
The classic camellia on the chest is wrapped in huge rubies, the golden chain of rigidity and softness hangs on the chest, and the shoulders, collarbone, chest, every place is gorgeous, noble and sexy.
▍ Classic moments
This black and gold dress may already be very familiar to everyone, after it was designed, it also gave posterity a lot of inspiration, it can be said that for decades, it has never been forgotten.
For example, when we were children, we watched "Sailor Moon", the author Naoko Takeuchi took it as inspiration and put on this dress for the Pluto King Chena, which was charming and luxurious and very imposing.
▲ Is it your childhood memories?
In the movie "Broken Embraces", Spanish national treasure actress Penélope Cruz also has an upper body, which shows the bright and majestic beauty of the great beauty.
The theme of the 2019 Met Gala is "Camp," which means exaggeration. Lily-Rose Depp reinterpreted the collection dress, which was older than her, and set off a retro craze online.
Last year, many netizens on TikTok also showed themselves how to DIY this dress to pay tribute to the classic.
Of course, after the heat is high, the plagiarism will come. A fast fashion brand blatantly copied one and sold for $108 each. Many netizens think it is too cheap:
▲Is it a comparison that shows the classic charm more?
VERSACE
Safety Pin Dress
▍ The sexiest Black Dress
The second thing that must be nominated is Versace's safety pin skirt, which caused a sensation in the entire fashion circle as soon as it came out that year, and also opened a precedent for relying on a skirt to win a star.
Now Versace can already be said to be in a slump, and the design of a single theory is also complicated. The spokesperson looked for Wu Xuanyi, and there was no help to save the decline.
In contrast, Versace, who was written by Gianni Versace himself, still produced a lot of avant-garde designs, which is also a legend in the fashion circle.
Versace F/W 1992
Versace F/W 1995
Gianni Versace's iconic Medusa head, the snake demon, is beautiful and dangerous, wild and gorgeous, full of mystery, and represents Versace's tone.
▲ On the classic safety pin, there is also a statue of Medusa.
One of the most noteworthy is Elizabeth Hurley's safety pin slit skirt, one of Versace's most famous designs.
The skirt has a low neckline on the chest, and the key places are fixed by the punk-style safety pin, boldly revealing the female figure, looking dangerous and seductive.
Coincidentally, supermodel Christy Turlington also participated in that year's runway. Later Tintin also plans to write an analysis of the fall of the supermodel, do you want to see it?
The show of that year was also very classic, the pin element ran through the entire show, sexy and beautiful.
- Versace S/S 1994 -
▍ Make a star suit
When it comes to versace pin skirts, it is inseparable from Elizabeth Hurley.
She was originally an unknown little actress who couldn't even borrow a dress for the premiere of the movie. Fortunately, a friend found Versace for a favor and lent her the pin skirt.
As a result, Hurley attracted everyone's attention with this skirt that night, stealing all the limelight. The next day she was featured in newspapers and magazines around the world and became an overnight hit.
In 1994, Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley attended the premiere of the film Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Others said the dress was too revealing, but Hurley responded: "Unlike many other designers, Versace designs clothing that celebrates the feminine form, not eliminates the feminine form."
The safety pin dress also became famous, known as "the sexiest black dress ever made", and deservedly one of Gianni Versace's most legendary works.
Until now, this black and gold battle dress is also of the collector's level. Previously, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's 150th anniversary gift exhibition
A replica of It was shown on About Time: Fashion and Duration, and Lady Gaga wore the same one.
In 2014, Miranda Kerr also wore a similar one at the Golden Globe Party, but emilio Pucci's Early Fall 2014 collection can be seen to be inspired by the pin skirt:
Because the collection is so classic, sister Donatella Versace redesigned the pin skirt in 2019. Although it is an improvement into a more modern style, I personally feel that compared with that year, it lacks the most essential sense of gorgeous atmosphere.

Jean Paul Gaultier
Backless Dress
▍ Exotic beauty of rigidity and softness
This last place, selfishly reserved for the Hightier backless skirt that the Kate Devil King had on his upper body.
In 2000, Cate Blanchett attended the 72nd Academy Awards.
A while ago Zendaya and her Roberto Cavalli spineless backless skirt were out of the loop, and it immediately reminded me of Gautier's one.
▲ Zheng Xiuwen also wore a Roberto Cavalli spirit snake backless skirt before.
Compared to Roberto Cavalli's wild and flamboyant beauty, Gauthier's is obviously more feminine and a little exotic, which sets off Cate's warm and restrained, cold and soft temperament more and more intensely.
Designer Jean Paul Gaultier is also a veritable design genius, only you can't think of it, you can't do it without him. Many styles are very whimsical, like the dreamers of the fashion circle:
You can see his bottomless brain hole and great passion for fashion, art and design.
And this black and gold dress of that year was really a very restrained one in his design.
▲ Both feminine and clean, the cut and lines highlight Kate's feminine and queen temperament.
Another interesting thing is that this classic look was only rushed out an hour before the red carpet was played.
The matching of clothes and jewelry on the red carpet is very important, this dress is not so stunning, it belongs to the "second eye beauty". But with the mellow and deep jewelry, the whole shape immediately becomes luxurious and stylish.
The jewelry designer at the time was Cynthia Bach, who didn't arrive at the hotel until 3 hours before the red carpet began, and gave Kate her collection of antique Indian gemstone armbands, bracelets and hair ornaments, which complemented the gold decoration on her back, mysterious and elegant, and had an exotic beauty.
▍ Open and inclusive dressing atmosphere
Cate's outfit is from 2000, and it is more bold to look at now, which is actually inseparable from the fashion atmosphere at that time.
The collision of ideas in the era of the turn of the century is very rich, the dressing atmosphere is relatively open, and the sexy style is popular.
At that time, many female celebrities also boldly tried backless, perspective design, sexy but not vulgar, and many classic styles are often taken out to appreciate now.

1999 Nicole Kidman
2000年 Cameron Diaz
2000 Charlize Theron
This inclusive and open dressing environment also represents to a certain extent that women have more freedom rights and pursue independent and free personalities.
Cate has said more than once in front of the media: "We all like to dress beautifully and sexily, we are the owners of our own bodies, and we have the right to decide how to show them." 」
