As at ease in her body as she is in her surroundings, Cassandra’s enveloping points of earthy references are made visible in her drapey antique whites, folded down Frye boots, vignettes of white skulls and handmade blankets found throughout her apartment. You can see how Cassandra has been influenced by vintage playboys and her childhood in the woods of Oregon, through both the swimwear that she designs and wears, as well as the jars of sand and arrangements of drift wood that surround her in her LA loft. Cassandra is most at peace among nature– coral, shells and starfish are art on her shelves, while surfing provides her with the life lessons and relaxation needed by someone who goes wholeheartedly for what she wants in life.

The Virgo in Cassandra has to order the world by hues. Her clothing is separated by palettes of beiges, creams, whites and blacks. I love how clean and strong she appears in a monochromtatic black ensemble of a cut out one piece, high waisted linen shorts, a blazer and wedges. The beauty of the female body can be the perfect backdrop to simple, unaffected good style like Cassandra, in worn denim and a crafty woven dress, much like her icon Bridgette Bardot, who could wear a towel and have style. One day Cassandra wants to live by the beach, wake up and surf, design in her studio, have a farm, grow her own vegetables and have her own animals, which, for me, is the height of fashionable.
