French Designer Predicts Era of Studied Casualness By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York U.R) The new year 1956 will begin an era of studied casualness in women's clothes, Lilly Dacha predicted O G We'll be casual with an ele gance never achieved in the strait-laced both physically and socially former days, declared Miss Dache, who is a cool-headed business woman with no time for crystal ball gazftg. It will be the definitive style for the second half of the 20th century, in the designer's opin ion. The clothes we are wearing now she'rmed "transitional," with certain forerunners of fu ture styles. Wonderful Time Miss Dache bases her predic tions on a few significant facts. As she discussed them in a lunch interview, the voluble French designer, who is presi dent of a perfume company, a hair products company, a cos metics company and her own boutique and hat-designing firm, Christmas Angels We combed the market for Angels and we discovered there is a large assortment of good ones. Gome in they are on the shelf now just waiting to cheer up someone this Christmas.

"Ah, this is a wonderful time for a woman to live," she said, clasping her hands eagerly. "From now on women will be more free than ever before. They are ready to throw aside old taboos because they are se cure. "That is why they are ready for a new way to dress. You do not add anything new to your self or dye your hair unless you are secure. You must know that you can get away with it. Now women are confident of their their power. Coat with Sable Collar "Studied casualness,"- Miss Dache continued, ignoring the cooling food on her plate, is quite opposite from careless ness. You want an example? I give you one. Did you read where Marlene Dietrich walked into a cocktail lounge on Park avenue wearing a gold kid trench coat with a sable collar. That is studied casualness." Miss Dache cited the sweaters women now buy for evening wear as another example. "I have sweaters that are em broidered with wonderful Span ish shawl kind of embroidery," she said. "They are one of a kind and people pay S200 for them. That is studied casual ness." Miss Dache predicted that we will wear fewer tight - waisted clothes, more capes, more lush fabrics and bigger hats in the casual era. We also, will pay more attention to colors in cos tumes and be less restricted by tight girdles.
