Fed up of France? Looking for a little fun? If so, an exhibition on London, city of the birth of punks, is on at the Bon Marché, since August 28th. You know, the little black dress is not uncommon in Shoreditch, one of the best places to admire the trendy hipsters of the city. With their excentric and quirky outifts, they are a sight to see mixing tradition and modernity with style ! Enough to give any black dress a second life !

Held each August Bank Holiday since 1966, the Notting Hill Carnival is the largest festival celebration of its kind in Europe. So, what colours will you be bearing or will you decide to play on contrast with a little black dress ?

I think it’s time to have a look at men’s dress too (the other sense of the term). At the moment, The Fashion and Textile Museum in London has an exhibition on Tommy Nutter (17 April 1943– 17 August 1992), a talented British tailor who shook up the now renown Savile Row, by his modern suits. After all, if we’re going to look our best in our little black dress, we need a man to look the part, wouldn’t you agree ?

Three beautiful cities, and some amazing bars for you, your LBD and your taste palate to discover (or go back to). These bars are part of the World’s Best Bars‘ selection, a website I can only recommend with a complete over view of any bar worth knowing and even those you might prefer to avoid, with extensive reviews by customers from all over the world. You won’t have to worry about anything other than what little black dress would suit the place best !

Until August 26th 2011, come and check out designs by Yohji Yamamoto at the Fashion Space Gallery in London. Several interesting black dresses await you.

For the second time round, the Galeries Lafayette, (and Glamour, Franck Provost, StudioMake-up, aufeminin.com and Galeries Lafayette Voyages), organise the world’s biggest ever catwalk ! It will be held in Paris on Thursday 15th of September and throughout France on the Saturday September 17th 2011. Who will Glamour magazine spot and select as part of the 15 best “glamour looks” ? What little black dress would complete your look?

Finally, the very last film of the Harry Potter series will hit the big screen tomorrow Wednesday 13rd 2011. For the world’s premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, held in London last Thursday, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe turned on the waterworks of many fans at Trafalgar Square. But what about the Black Dress ?
