Robert Delaunay (1885 – 1941) is a French artist who, with his wife Sonia Delaunay and others, co-founded the Orphismart movement, noted for its use of strong colours and geometric shapes.

Nun hat die Vogue dem Kleinen Schwarzen gleich ein ganzen Buch gewidmet. “Little Black Dress” heißt das wunderbare und es dreht sich um die “Uniform für alle Frauen mit Geschmack”, wie es 1926 schon in der Vogue hieß. Chanel hielt sich nicht an Regeln, sie machte schwarz tragbar. Die Zeit nach dem Krieg und die entsprechenden Umstände ebenen ihr quasi dafür den Weg. So wurde schwarz nicht mehr nur die Farbe der Trauer, sondern des Alltags.
Es ist zudem die simple Eleganz. In schwarz sieht doch fast jeder gut aus. Es schmeichelt der Figur. Ich behaupte mal, dass über 90 % der Frauen eins davon im Kleiderschrank hängen haben.
