Little Black Dress Club & Chanel Are a Perfect “Fit”!

Replacing the corset with comfort and casual elegance, Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel’s timeless fashion themes included the little black dress, red lipstick and perfume.  She was quoted as saying, “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.”

When the little black dress first graced the pages of American Vogue in 1926, it was described as “Chanel's Ford” because the dress was utilitarian and available in one form or another to all women.  Over the past 85 years, the LBD has been featured in different forms, appearing in films, red carpets, runway shows and now locally at “Coco’s Classy & Fabulous Night Out”!

The (LBDC) will host “Coco’s Classy & Fabulous Night Out” on Monday, November 21 from 6-9:00pm at , 398 N Cedar Rd, New Lenox.   Women are invited to experience Chanel products at this premier open house event.  Specially priced manicures and pedicures will feature Chanel nail colour.  While pampering themselves, women can also enjoy a wine tasting offered by paired with cheeses and .  Professional photographs will be taken throughout the evening by Jean Lachat Photography.

Chanel approached Little Black Dress Club with the idea of a premier event featuring their product.  When asked they chose LBDC, Cosmetics Department Manager Amanda Fattore, Chanel-Von Maur replied, “We were inspired by the organization’s philosophy of the little black dress.  We feel Chanel shares the same concepts.”

Co-founders Christine Zellers and Jenny Holzer first came up with the idea in 2006 when discussing ways to meet new friends. The name of the national organization was an “aha” moment. As the club gained traction, the founders realized the little black dress was timeless and classic. Women want to feel sexy and beautiful. “Members are recognized for their class, intelligence, and grace as well as their willingness to try new things! Being a part of something truly unique and special is as easy as throwing on a little black dress,” said Zellers.

Women 21+ are encouraged to throw on a little black dress and join in on the fun.  Tickets for this fabuous event are only $5 prior to the event and $10 at the door, which include discounts and coupons from the evening’s sponsors.  Specially priced manicures and pedicures can be scheduled by calling Pretty Penny Nails directly at 815-462-7500 as these are not included in the ticket price.  Women do not need to be members of Little Black Dress Club nor do they have to wear a little black dress.
