Black is not sad.

Bright colors are what depresses me.

They’re so… empty.

Black is poetic.

How do you imagine a poet? In a bright yellow jacket? Probably not.

― Ann Demeulemeester

 

The classic that never goes out of style.

Versatile, easy to mix with other colors and styles.

Black is low-maintenance and ideal for everyday wear.

 

Margiela, what is black?

View on colour, Margiela, 04/02/1998

Martin Margiela, the famously elusive Belgian designer, redefined the boundaries of fashion by merging deconstruction with avant-garde. Renowned for his preference to remain behind the scenes, letting his work speak for itself,

Margiela's perspective on black transcends the mere concept of a color. 

For him, black is an absence, a presence, a mood, a mantle.

Black is the most slimming of all colours.
It is the most flattering.
You can wear black at any time.
You can wear it at any age. You may wear it for almost any occasion.
I could write a book about black.

— Christian Dior
