IT'S THAT THE NORELL DRESS THAT EVERYONE KNOCKS OFF?

Norman Norell was great at a LBD, but not in a Parisian mode.  A Norell LBD was American chic and continues to be oft-copied.  Case in point: this round neck dress with gathered waist and large hip pockets.  Fully functional and a wee-bit sporty, no? There is nothing anachronistic about this dress.  It's totally relevant today and we see designers doing variations of this wool crepe dress season after season.  I would suggest adding a "sassy" bright belt and shoes for a punch of color.  How would you style this 60s dress to keep it 21st century chic?  And how do you think Norell's iconic LBD compares to that of Givenchy?  Tweet me your thoughts as I love hearing from you! @CameronDecades
