The Little Black Dress Revisited
Amy Bissonette, Co-Founder, Minneapolis
27 Sept 2018 My husband Bill and I were at a party, I was wearing a black dress. I said, âshall we take this gown for a spin on the dance floor?â It was as though it was another entity; Bill, me and the dress. Notice what we call the âfloating head syndromeâ in the first picture. Then how easy it is to connect with Katie in the second photo. In Paris the fashion trend is black with an accent color. In NewYork its just black on black. These two locations are in part where we get our styles. How did this happen? How did black become the âgo toâ color? Maybe we just arenât really looking at ourselves? Some of creation is black and looks perfect There is a knowing on some level for all of us if clothing is making a statement that is not true. Maslow wrote about a hierarchy of needs: If we move up the hierarchy of needs we bump into a problem. Esteem and actualization are the final two goals in our human development. We make these goals harder for ourselves when we disappear into a color that doesnât support us. (Again there is a small population that can and needs to wear black but it is at most 25%, a little more if we include an off- black for natural hair color matching.) I would like to challenge you to look in the mirror, close your eyes then open them to see what you see first, your outfit or you.
