cov-
ered black dress that tops
Chicago fashionista Ikram
Goldman's winter must-wear
list. "There's nothing more
romantic than a woman wear-
ing a beautiful gown with the
most extraordinary fowers," says
Goldman, "and it's so chic to have a fowy
little tulle skirt in black with an empire waist and all of this
beading—there's a refnement in the touch. And it's not
just a winter dress; it can be worn year-round and makes
a really powerful, very beautiful statement. If there's one
black-tie gown in a lifetime you should invest in, it would
be a dress like this. You can never go wrong with it."
