Dresses for "The Backup Plan"

Wearing a Cecilia Cassini original to "The Backup Plan" premiere?


Yep... My friends Rowan and Carmen came over last night to choose the perfect dress to wear to the "cast and crew" premiere and party. Rowan is in the movie! How cool!


But even cooler is that they wanted to wear one of my designs! 


I had a lot of fun helping them choose a dress!


I even made them matching headbands!


Guess what dresses they chose!!!

FASHION SHOWS IN COLD CITIES!!!

I STARTED LOOKING TO SEE WHERE THE NEXT FASHION WEEK WILL BE HELD...
LONDON, BERLIN, PARIS...
OF COURSE FASHION WEEKS ARE HELD IN FABULOUS CITIES BUT I REALIZED SOMETHING ELSE TOO!!!
FASHION WEEKS ARE HELD IN CITIES THAT GET COLD AND VERY COLD!
IT IS SO MUCH MORE CHIC TO DRESS IN COLD WEATHER...
I MEAN YOU GET TO WRAP YOUR CASHMERE SCARFS AROUND YOUR NECK AND WEAR YOUR FABULOUS COATS AND BOOTS!!!
IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE TO HAVE A FASHION WEEK IN HAWAII, I GUESS! ONE TINY BIKINI CANT BE TOO FABULOUS!!!!

JUST MY THOUGHTS...

DESIGNER'S BLOCK???????

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF WRITER'S BLOCK?
you know when you just can't think of what to write?????

WELL, "KAT" ASKED ME ABOUT DESIGNER'S BLOCK:

HHHHHMMMMMMMM...........????????????????

I HAVE NEVER REALLY HAD "DESIGNER'S BLOCK" BECAUSE :

FIRST OF ALL: I NEVER EVER GET TIRED OF DESIGNERS AND THINKING OF IDEAS...
I EVEN DREAM IDEAS....

SECOND OF ALL: YOU CAN'T DESIGN IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE MOOD...

SO: MY ADVICE ON DESIGNER'S BLOCK:

DO NOT EVER TRY TO DESIGN IF YOU ARE NOT INSPIRED....
YOU MUST BE IN THE MOOD!
AND BTW.... YOU DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE IN A HAPPY MOOD TO DESIGN... GREAT STUFF HAPPENS IN ALL KINDS OF MOODS!

TRUST YOURSELF.... FOLLOW YOU HEART!
DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT YOUR FABRICS DON'T LOOK GOOD TOGETHER!

XOXOXOX CIAO FOR NOW, CECILIA

MY SERGER MY WIZARD!!!



Guess what I did today?


I learned how to use a Serger!


Part of being sponsored by Singer is that they gave me one!
I know, I am so so so LUCKY ! 
I know most of you are wondering ...
first of all,  what is a Serger ?










It is an "overlock" sewing machine with five spools of thread! Yep! Five needles to thread! 







Basically, it is a super-uper cool sewing machine that will finish edges of fabric while cutting at the same time! I know: complicated but very cool!






and second of all, why on earth is that so exciting?


Well, a Serger is like a wizard! As soon as I know how to use it, ... OMG! Just wait!


Thank you Singer for helping me to learn more and more techniques! 


Thank you Janice! She was my teacher today  - super nice and cool!

I have a Dream...

on Monday, January 18, 2010 I wrote a blog called WHAT IS YOUR DREAM ? and after you read and continue reading this post, you will understand why I post it again:


Today I had no school in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr...
I have dreams, too!
I have a dream that there will be no poor children.
I have a dream that all little girls will get to wear dresses if they want to.
I have a dream that all children will be healthy and that all babies will get milk.
I have a dream that all children in Haiti will be okay and that their schools will be rebuilt.
I have a dream that all children will get to learn.
I have a dream that all children will get to pursue their dreams.
What is your dream?


p.s. of course I dream of going back to Paris soon and meeting Karl Lagerfeld! !!!!!

Hi Cecilia! I love your fashions, and I think it's so cool that you are a fashion designer at only 10 years old. I'm twelve, and I hope to be a fashion designer too! You are a great role model, and you inspired me to become a designer too. When you get this comment, could you please email me at ..........@gmail.com? I would really appreciate it. Thanks Cecilia! Ciao for now! lol


and then she wrote:
I have a dream ~ to become a fashion designer like you!


I have a dream ~ that all children can get good educations
I have a dream ~ that girls can stop pretending to hate wearing dresses because they think it's uncool :(
I have a dream ~ to meet you and Bella Thorne and Elle and Dakota Fanning!

I have a dream ~ that Cecilia Cassini will email me!!!

NYC FASHION WEEK





New York City Fashion Week!



It all started with a photo shoot. As soon as my photo shoot launching my "spring looks" with Bella Thorne, I packed my bags as fast as an olympic swimmer swooshes through the lane. I hurried to the airport and got on the plane. I was going to the "Big Apple", also known as New York City!


I was so excited to step onto the plane in my fabulous boots, I mean, they were just so Fashion- Week ready. Being invited to Fashion-Week in New York City meant one thing: Fashion Shows.


Walking into Bryant Park made my heart jump for joy, just like a watch continues to tick. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw my very own name placed directly in the second row of the fashion show.

I was so thrilled to be able to sit in the second row of New York Fashion Week. I could hardly believe that I, Cecilia Cassini, just 10 years old, was sitting next to some of the most famous people in the Fashion World such as; Brooke Shields, the editor of Teen Vogue Magazine, the publisher of Vogue Magazine and an editor for Vanity Fair, Italia.



My dream has finally come true!


Of the many shows I saw, I loved : Tdashi, Perry Elis, Thuy, Perry Ellis and Carlos Miele.

Brights! Gold! Black! Gorgeous stuff. I kept pinching my mom, asking her to take me directly to the fabric stores in NYC. I was so inspired! I was begging to get some fabric and a machine!

I was as happy as a little kid would be to running around in a candy shop! I couldn't believe I was actually sitting there seeing the amazing new fashions walk down the runway. The new collections that I saw gave me more creative ideas than I have ever had before!


Leaving New York City will make me sad but at the same time, I can't wait to get back home to start on my New York-inspired Collection.


I will never forget my trip to New York City Fashion Week!

THE PERFECT DAY

Today was a perfect day!
Perfecto! Parfait! If you know what I mean!
The rain stopped.
I hung out with my friend for awhile.
Then... off to F&S Fabric Store! OMG !
Just wait til you see what I got!
Before we knew it, it had been 2 hours that I had been looking at fabrics!
I could have stayed so much longer but Marie, the super nice lady who helps me there,
realized she was hungry and needed to go eat! Well of course. It was now 3:30 pm.
I felt bad for her so I kinda hurried. I couldn't help it when the other super nice lady there, the Owner named Shirley, started to show me the Georgio Armani stretch/silks and the $1000 per yard sequined fabric. Yep! Can you imagine ? One thousand dollars per yard. WOW! Some day!
As soon as we left with my huge bag of remnants, my mom and I decided we were hungry too! Steakburger at Apple Pan (and a little banana cream pie, ssshhhhh...)
to end a perfect afternoon! As we were driving home, I got great news from my brother! For the second year in a row, Phil Mickelson gave him one of his very own golf balls that he was playing with at the Northern Trust Open at Riviera Country Club.
You see, fabric makes me happy. Receiving golf balls from Mickelson makes my borther happy. What makes you happy? What makes a great day for you?
I hope you had a great day today, also!
xoxoxo ciao for now, off to cutting and designing and sewing!!!!!!!!!!!

JUST IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING

Where I am From…

by Cecilia

I am from the world of sewing back and forth,

the world of fabric making decisions, and

making masterpieces.

I am from the world of picking and choosing clothes.

I am from a jungle of hair sitting on my shoulders.

I am from a shoe box of new Prada stilettos, as my heels arch in happiness.

I am from pearls, clinging as I prance, from the smell of chic Paris, window shopping as

my Chanel coat wraps around my body.

I am from mascara, dancing up my eyelashes, looking around,

Chanel - my life, my inspiration.

My perfectly manicured nails cutting the fabric.

I am from a designer's point of view: sequin, leopard, and metallic.

But truly: My life, my everything is fashion.

Thursday, February 4, 2010

GUESS WHAT IS HAPPENING???????

Wow! What a week! Lots of fun and exciting stuff of the designing side of things for me... I will tell you about everything once it is all absolutely for real!

BUT FOR NOW, A COUPLE OF CLUES!

1.
UPS should be delivering something ... It has to do something with my brother. If you think you know what it is, it is not! Because you do not know my brother!!!!!

2.
Tomorrow. Today. Yesterday. That's all I am going to tell you. Ok... one more thing:
Au Jourd Hui......

3.
Hair. Dress. Pose. Click. Done!

Keep checking back to see if you are a good mystery solver!

xoxoxo ciao for now,
Cecilia

HAITI...

I was asked to create a dress for "Clothes off Our Back". This is a charity that raises money for all kinds of important causes. This one is to help people in Haiti.
I made a super cute dress (orange and pink and with a big silk flower) that was inspired by the dresses I made for Denise Richard's daughters.
Let's keep helping Haiti in any way we can!

MY GRANDPA ALMOST FAINTED

My grandpa told me an "OMG" story!
Here it is:
MY GRANDPA TOLD ME A STORY:
He went to my cousin's school the other day to watch his basketball game.
While he was looking for the game, he asked a little girl where the game might be.
The little girl, with two front teeth missing and about as tall as me, led him in the right direction.
Before this cute little girl walked away, she said "I like your shirt" to my grandpa.
After my grandpa said "Oh, thank you," he said to the little girl "Do you like fashion?"
Guess what she said?????
She said, .... "Oh yes! I love fashion! And my idol is Cecilia Cassini! She is ten years old and already a fashion designer!"
My grandpa almost fainted! Good thing he didn't.
OMG!!!!!
BTW: This is a true story!
xoxoxo, Cecilia

Homework???????

Wow.... another crew came! I guess Germany really loves fashion!
OMG ! My mom picked me up from school and said, "I hope you don't have too much homework today!" I actually had tons that day :(((
Off we went to Tough Cookies to meet Anna-Barbara and Daniel and the crew! They wanted to see all the new pieces that I made. They loved, loved, loved!!!!! the Valentine inspired collection! I love it too!
After that, we came home. Anna was so interested to see how I could create and complete a design in front of her! I did one ! I think she loved it! She wanted to wear it - just a bit too small for her since I made it for me!

Off to bed... just a little late (11:30 pm)... sssshhhh... homework not done. Hope I won't get in trouble with my teacher tomorrow. (He is super nice. I think he will understand!)
ciao for now,

Bonjourno Italia!!!

Today I got to practice some of my Italian !
Valentina, a producer/reporter for Italian TV, came to interview and film me with her crew!
When she walked in, I couldn't believe how pretty and stylish she is!
Well, of course!
She is Italian!
Total fashionista she is! So of course, we got along great!
While she watched me design and create dresses, I looked at her fabulous outfit!
Loved her grey tights and jean shorts! Sooooooo Italian!

It sure made me feel great that even Valentina would love one of my masterpieces!
Off to work (that is the sewing room)... I go...
ciao for now,

How do you say "down dog" in German?

Can you believe another German TV network wanted to do a story on me!
Dagmar and her crew came to the house today after school !
When I showed them my sewing and designing room (which used to be the play/yoga room),
Dagmar couldn't believe I had made so many new pieces since the first German TV piece...
I did a little fashion show for them , trying on lots of my new dresses... walking on a runway! Funny, because it was on my front yard on the grass... I am sure it will look good on tv!
Dagmar was super nice! Besides fashion, she likes yoga! So my mom and I had other things to chat with her about too!
How do you say "down dog" in German?
Can't wait to see the piece! Keep checking the press page to see if it has aired yet.
Auf wiedersehen (of course that means "goodbye" in German)

I have heard Heidi Klum say it a million times on Project Runway but I didn't know how to spell it. I had to go to Google to see how to spell it.

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM ?

Today I had no school in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr...
I have dreams, too!
I have a dream that there will be no poor children.
I have a dream that all little girls will get to wear dresses if they want to.
I have a dream that all children will be healthy and that all babies will get milk.
I have a dream that all children in Haiti will be okay and that their schools will be rebuilt.
I have a dream that all children will get to learn.
I have a dream that all children will get to pursue their dreams.
What is your dream?
p.s. of course I dream of going back to Paris soon and meeting Karl Lagerfeld! !!!!!
xoxo ciao for now, Cecilia

MOOD???????


THE SEASON PREMIERE OF PROJECT RUNWAY SURE GOT ME IN THE MOOD!
The best part of the show was when the new designers got to run through Central Park and grab as many rolls of fabric as they wanted. Can you imagine? OMG ! I would go crazy! That would be one of the best things that could ever happen to me .... well, you know what I mean, right? Going to the fabric store - especially MOOD - is one of my favorite things to do! Better than the candy store and defs better than Disneyland! Well, watching those designers run through Central Park grabbing everything they wanted, made me think about what I would like to grab from the fabric store! I mean, it was kinda getting to be time to start a spring and summer collection! So,... lucky me! I went to MOOD this weekend and... VOILA ! I can't wait to show you what I actually chose - since I did NOT get to get everything I wanted!!!! I had to chose just a few yards of fabric but, I think I got some fab stuff! Off to designing I go!
