Basic BlackBasic Black

The versatility of the color black has allowed clothing designers the luxury of creating all types of garments in "Basic Black."

Evening wear, work dresses, the classic tuxedo, mourning clothes, and even swimsuits can be found in black no matter what the fashion of the day dictates. The clothing displayed here spans the 110 years from 1880 to 1990.
