Lampblack, carbon black, Mars black, and the blackest black pigment of all, Vantablack, shaped our gallery of fashion in PaperCity‘s April issue. This month, the glistening pages of fashion editorials zero in on the demure ensembles with the classic go-to hue for bold spring fashion.

Black, a color that transcends seasons, adds a touch of elegance to any fashion style. Whether it’s a lace Michael Kors Collection dress, a sleek Louis Vuitton mini, a playful Stella McCartney polka dot ruffle number, a sophisticated Chanel silk organza stunner, or a daring leather Alexander McQueen masterpiece, the dresses of the season all celebrate the timeless appeal of black while embracing the lightness of the spring season.

Basque in mouthwatering accessories like embellished bags and structural statement jewelry paired impeccably with the dashing color. After all, dressing is an art.

The PaperCity fashion team, led by art and creative director Michelle Aviña, curated these confident looks and bold ensembles from the very best spring collections. All meant to inspire The Art of Dressing.
