Black is the Old, New, Future Black for the Chic

by Chris Abraham on 28/06/2006 ·

Just deal with it FIT and Parsons: black is the new black and black is the old black. We’re on to your tricks and salesmanship!


Black is back. Black has never left. In the Devil Wears Prada Trailer, when uncouth Anne Hathaway (Andy Sachs) comes to work for Meryl Streep (Miranda Priestly), the definition of chic is black, negro, noir, schwarz, nero, zwart, ????????, ?, ??, preto, ???????. Don’t fall for their shit: they all wear black even though they’re selling you pastels and gingham.
