The Little Black Dress has evolved into many forms. In our February 2021 cover, Heart Evangelista-Escudero shows the modern version of it in top-notch style.
The Little Black Dress (LBD) has been one of the most iconic and most talked about pieces of clothing since the beginning of the modern times. From Chanel’s version in 1926 that gave everyone an equal chance to look chic to the modern and more daring creations of say Anthony Vaccarello for Saint Laurent, the 21st-century version of the much-loved piece is versatile, sexy, and show-stopping.
One of the designers known to give the LBD an update is Chris Nick. His love for the color black and creating versatile pieces have formed a generation of women who are unafraid to show a little bit of skin. For Heart, he created three stunning pieces that are part of his next collection. “We actually ran out of the ostrich feathers but thankfully we had contacts we messaged last minute and provided us with the feathers!” Chris Nick said talking about the fully feathered mini dress. Together with the fully embellished dress with feather trimmings and the long black dress with embellished top, Heart looked graceful yet fearless.

For the final look, Rosbert Villar infused his love for the arts to his creation of a sculpture-like combination of pleats and ruffles on the little black dress. The piece has opened a new face for Rosbert’s brand as it was a combination of his classic aesthetic with a more modern and sexy silhouette. Framing heart’s beautiful face while strategically showing off a bit of skin, the dress was a great punctuation to the whole shoot.
Together with the luxurious pieces from BVLGARI and the inimitable beauty that is Heart Evangelista-Escudero, the little black dress was reborn into a piece that was not only meant for classic dressers but also for women who prefer to stand out and make a statement.
