Name: Cassandre, C.G
Occupation: Personal shopper/stylist
Location: L.A
Fashion Icon: None in particular but i love the 20's. Art Deco, boy Cut, Flapper dress etc.
Stylish somebody I've met: My high school principal Clara Lisa Kabbaz. When she decided to finally cut off her long locks to a shorter wavy 20's inspired flapper hair, her total appearance changed as well as her taste. Since then, i am always so eager to visit my old High school because i love to see what new handbag and jewelry she's wearing.
Most interesting Fashion gig: As a Fashion student I was a dresser for a Fashion show at Barneys. The models weren't anybody of high standard, but just being surrounded by their beautiful tall bodies and clothing, such as Alexander Wang, Marc Jacobs, Lanvin, Miu miu and many other was ecstasy and visually compensating. It was such an honor for me to be a part of the show and most importantly having full responsibility of (touching) the clothing.
Fav True Bird: Flirtatious Feathering in plush plume and Lavish Lavender (those pieces coming soon to truebirds.com!)
Beauty Must: I got to have my blush. I am never creative with my makeup, because i like subtlety on my face but blush is my key to beauty. Being brunette and having blue eyes, blush brings my eyes and freckles out!
Favorite Bird: The Crow, I'm always curious to what they are saying.
