Why Every Woman Should Own a Black Dress?
The little black dress; simple, elegant, timeless. Once exclusively reserved for aristocrats. A garment for mourning in Victorian times. Elevated to mass-produced fashion necessity in the 1920’s. Its meaning has transformed over time. And yet, through time, this dress has consistently made a statement.
Coco Chanel brought forward the modern form of the black dress in 1926. It was a dress made accessible to women across social classes. Since that time, other designers have made their mark, taking advantage of its subtle versatility; the way it compliments, highlights, shapes, and accentuates gorgeously across body types and skin tones. The little black dress offers layers of comfort, femininity, mystique. It’s no wonder variations of this dress have proliferated over its fashion history.
Nothing compares to a quality black dress. Its versatility makes it the perfect problem solver in any wardrobe. It works in every season, and is easily accessorized. The little black dress allows women to be confident, sophisticated, and bold all at once. It is ever evolving and always relevant, making it forever essential.

About Daisy Malek-Shadid
As a little girl, I would be asked what I want to be when I grow up. I would confidently reply, I want to be a clothing designer and a respected leader. Fast forward 30 years, after working in the corporate world, traveling, getting married and having children, the aspirations of my youth inspire me today. I want to create clothes that make women feel both feminine and powerful, beautiful and strong, sophisticated and elevated. It takes a moment to make a first impression. Dressing well sets the tone, so one can own that moment.
Giving Back
It is important to La Jolie MLN to give back to the community, to women who don’t have the same opportunity as others. And, for that reason, 10% of every purchase will go toward our goal to donate 100 dresses to Dress for Success, a non-for-profit organization that supports underprivileged women to achieve economic independence by providing various services - one of them professional attire for interviews and new employment.
