CENTRAL PARK , ANYONE??????

GUESS WHAT?

ONE OF THE PRODUCERS I HAVE MET CALLED US TODAY AND SAID THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO GET ME TO SEE A SHOW AT FASHION WEEK IN NEW YORK!

CAN YOU IMAGINE?

OMG! ONE OF MY BIGGEST DREAMS MIGHT COME TRUE!

DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHERE CARRIE (SARAH JESSICA PARKER) LIVES?

I WAS SO EXCITED BY THIS NEWS THAT THIS AFTERNOON ... AFTER MY HOMEWORK, OF COURSE! (NO TENNIS BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING)

I MADE 2 DRESSES WITH NEW YORK IN MIND.

THEY LOOK FAB! FAB-U-LOUS!

I AM SHOOTING THEM AT THE PHOTO SHOOT ON SATURDAY !

OH... DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THE PHOTO SHOOT THAT IS HAPPENING THIS SATURDAY?

I WILL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT TOMORROW!

XOXOXO CIAO FOR NOW, CECILIA

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.

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!

xoxox ciao for now, Cecilia

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,

xoxoxo

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,

xoxoxoxo Cecilia

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!

xoxoxo ciao for now, cecilia

On TV in Germany

Look how cool, A german TV decided to do a story on me, my family and my designs...It was very fun and very new to me... it aired tonight on their program...you can see it by clicking here:



see the Press page to see the video...

TOKIDOKI !!! omg ! WOW!

What a night I had! I got invited to the Tokidoki party that launched the Karl Lagerfeld doll! It was so exciting for me...anything about Karl Lagarfeld is exciting for me! I love love LOVE Tokidoki because it is so artsy and I love the Japanese touch to it all! Then to top it off: A Karl Lagerfeld doll????? OMG... What could be more amazing. I mean, I am not really into dolls - except the Carolle baby dolls I collected as a little girl. But a Karl Lagerfeld doll is totally different! Karl is the fabulous man with the white ponytail who designs for Chanel! Yep. Chanel.... So when I got home from school and finished my homework, I had just a few minutes before tennis practice (which I had to go to before Tokidoki)..... and guess what? Well, my sewing machine was staring at me and I got inspired! I made this outfit to wear especially to Tokidoki! What do you think? I love it! So did everyone at the Tokidoki event! The night just got better and better! The owner of Tokidoki took me around and introduced me to everyone there! I met Simone, the Italiano artist of Tokidoki, so cool!!!!!!!!!! Then guess who? Nicky Hilton. She was super nice, she told me she "loved" my outfit! I have to say the best part of the night was "shopping" with Rudy and getting the very special and collectible special edition Karl Lagerfeld doll! I know! Can you believe it! It is now sitting on a very special shelf in my sewing room! I think I will forever be inspired! Thanks to everyone at Tokidoki for making me a very happy 10 year old fashion designer! xoxoxo ciao for now, Cecilia

mommyhype is calling me "eco fashionista extraordinaire"

November 16, 2009
Eco Fashionista Extraordinaire


This is an article Teri Levy, my tennis friend Jamie's mom, wrote. It was great to see that even my friends who I only see on the tennis court (in tennis clothes) like my stuff too! I mean we have a lot of fun playing tennis together but we don't get much time to talk fashion - if you know what I mean!

For the past year my eldest daughter Jamie has been playing tennis along side a girl who comes to the court with some serious fashion flair. Whether it is a big bright flower in the hair or some elaborate outfit, she gracefully dances across the court. Every week my daughter anticipates the outfit of the day. A week ago this ten year girl invited Jamie to her trunk show. So, last Saturday I piled my four daughters and a friend into the car and off we went. Meet Cecilia Cassini, a 10 year old Eco Fashion designer who aspires to be Coco Chanel. I was astonished by her creations and so where all the kids. At ten, she has the eye to selected interesting fabric combinations to create fashion forward pieces with some serious flair. With confidence she explained how she go started and with poise showed me her masterpieces. Yes, she calls them masterpieces because each piece is unique and one of a kind. All her creations are made from old clothes from hers, her grandmothers and moms closets. As I picked up a piece, Cecilia confidently told me a story relating to the garment, "ah, that was a Juicy Couture sweater that had a hole, so I decided to cut it up and create something". My daughters were in awe and inspired by Cecelia's ambition and courage to do what she loves: sew, save the planet by recycling old clothes and create. So, now we wait until our next meeting on the tennis courts to see her latest creation.

Just to give you a hint of what I happened to be wearing on the court on Tuesday (before I even saw this ) was a fabulous thick elastic, high wasted black full skirt with a simple black tank but of course... some fabulous magenta/sparkled leggings (from Tough Cookies, fyi) and my boring white addidas tennis shoes that I painted last year with scribbles and flowers to cheer them up! And as we all know, I never ever forget the head piece! This time a medium sized pink and black and gold ribbon bow headband... turned to the side of course!


make sure to check out http://mommyhype.com/tag/fashion because there are lots of great things to read about and to bake for the holidays ( i wanna make those pumpkin pie tarts) and of course to buy!!!!!!!
well ciao for now, xoxoxoox

daily news episode three

I woke up Saturday morning just like any other Saturday morning... well. kinda!

I was excited about my Trunk Show at Tough Cookies and I was already wondering what fabulous dress I was going to wear. I was also wondering how I could convince my mom to let me wear my hair down ( she always wants to to put it up...).........

So........... as I walked into the kitchen to say hello to everyone - since they were already up...

I noticed the Daily News on the kitchen table!!!!!!!!!!!! When I took a second glance at it, ...

OMG ! I was on the front page. OOOOOOOOO MYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOddddd!!

I didn't really know what to think. I was kind of shocked. I mean I knew Tony Castro interviewed me and I knew that Andy, the photographer from the Daily News, had come to photograph me but................... WOW !

I love the story! I hope you do too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

www.dailynews.com

you can find the story by clicking on "youngest fashion designer" heading

more later, gotta go get dressed for my Trunk Show at Tough Cookies!!!!!!

xoxoxoxoxo ciao for now

Thank you Tony and Andy and Shannon (owner of the ever fab Tough Cookies!)

LAST NIGHT ON THE NEWS

On the news ?

Well, just as I was cheering for my cousins James and Henry in their CIF Championship Waterpolo game, my mom tapped me on my shoulder and said in my ear, "We need to rush home as soon as the game is over."
I could tell there was a good enough reason by the tone of her voice that I did not even bother to beg her to stay for the pizza they usually serve after these games. Not that I like pizza - cuz I don't - but any chance to hang out with my cousins!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As we were rushing to the car, my mom said "Sharon Tay from CBS 2 / KCAL 9 news will be at our house in an hour to do a live report on you."
You can imagine my surprise. What????????????????? OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So we rushed home - good thing I was already dressed cute - so I could help my mom straighten up the house and get herself together!
I do not really know what I was feeling. It happened so fast.
Ding Dong! As I looked out the wondow there was the huge news truck in front of our house. WOW. Was this really happening? Yep. Sharon Tay said, "Hi Cecilia!" As if we had known eachother forever! She made me feel comfortable right away. She was so nice. Right away we started talking about fashion and Gossip Girl !!!!!!!!! Believe it or not, we had the best time. I showed her my sewing room, all of my current pieces, my portfolio and even the letter I wrote to Chanel when I was just 7 years old. Finally it was time to go on air! I was not nervous at all when the lights and cameras and microphones (I had to wear one) went on! I just couldn't believe it when Sharon Tay announced me as "arguably the youngest fashion designer in the country!" The whole night was like a dream! I should have been sleeping but the news truck, camera lady and Sharon Tay did not leave my house until about 11:30 pm.......... With all that excitement, how in the world could I go to sleep! Wow. What a day! I was on zzzzzzzzzz news

HERE IS A LINK FROM THE INTERVIEW FROM LAST NIGHT IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...

daily news episode one

A nice man named Tony from the Daily News called me!
Can you believe it?
Well, to be exact, he called my mom and asked if he could speak to me about my designing and sewing........
It was so cool. This man, he said he was old enough to be my grandfather, was asking me questions like:
"Where do I get my inspirations from"
"What do I plan to be when I grow up"
"How long have I been sewing"
"What do my friends think of my clothes"
"Am I related to Oleg Cassini, a famous fashion designer"
Tony said the story will be in the Daily News on Friday or Saturday!
So don't forget to look for me in the Daily News and read my answers to his questions!
