Black beauty

A LOT HAS BEEN SAID about the little black dress. It never gets dated -- the classic staple any woman’s wardrobe should have. It spells sophistication and chic-ness, glamour and drama.

The venerated LBD has gone through many incarnations, adapting to forms and shapes commanded by the trends. In this coming season, you will find the black dress take on new sculptured silhouettes, or the not-so-little form as it morphs into outlines that literally speak volumes.

Remember that black is the safest route to take to ease yourself into a trend. It’s the sensible path that assures you’re in tune to the season’s hottest looks, yet it also guarantees that you can work that new black piece into your wardrobe long after the trend is over.

Take, say, a black bolero sporting bubble sleeves, or a classic black top to go with the metallic sheen of a lamé skirt. Then again, how can you go wrong with anything black in the season’s layered looks?

Even in technology, black remains the classic choice. After seasons of producing candy-colored and immaculate white laptops and desktop computers, for instance, Apple has revisited tradition with its new black MacBook Pro.

In the highly competitive cell phone industry, where these little high-tech gadgets are now being touted as the ultimate fashion accessories, the cell phone has taken every imaginable shape, size and color. One company, Samsung, has upped the bar by introducing the slimmest phone in the market, the Ultra Slim X820. Unlike its competitors, Samsung’s tack is straightforward and no-nonsense. No blinding surface metal sheen, just the sleek purity of this sliver of a black bar.

A classic in the making? Given the fast pace of technology, only time can tell. But for the moment, as they say, once you go black, you never go back.
