I never get bored of looking at clothes backstage before any runway shows imagining what they'd really look like on models. I get drawn to blings (studded and zipper black dresses) backstage then I'd later see some simple dresses blowing me away during the show. This time around, I really liked what I originally spotted and got excited about backstage even at the show.
Okay, let's take a step back.. what am I on about??? I've sort of become a resident photog for all Skatt's fashion events. Well, it's not official and there is no arrangement of any kind. It's just that I always turn up and set myself a chair with armrests (so that I don't break another rib) and shoot away. Lisa from Skatt kindly sent me an email with her personal invitation to Cassi Lee Clothing's spring fashion show the other day so that's where I was last night.
It's a new find for me as I don't usually venture into Mt. Hawthorn for shopping. Mind you, Mt. Hawthorn is where the legendary New Norcia Bakery is located so it is a tempting location all around. Get your hair done at Skatt, get some frock for Spring races and carnivals at Cassi Lee and enjoy High Tea at New Norcia. There, I give you a sweet plan for an outing with your girlfriends.

Personally, I don't know much about the store owner and designer, Cassi. What I know now is that she doesn't just sell other labels. She also designs. What you see here in the last set of dresses is her latest summer collection which will be available in December. The show was pretty clever as someone pointed out. Melbourne Cup is just a day or two away and girls all want to get a sexy short dress with a fascinator. That's exactly what the show was about more or less.
Knowing so many budding designers struggling to make living out of fashion design it's quite interesting to see a commercially astute fahionista like Cassi. I'll soon have to find out what Cassi's secret is in putting a show like this one, owning a shop and launching a collection for this summer. A visit to her store would be a good start I suppose...
Nearly, forgot to mention, Cassi Lee also carries Men's wear. I mean at least some cool tees and jeans. No, the guy is not for sale.
Cassi Lee's summer collection!
I really wanted to post all 120 photos in this post simply because it's easier that way than deciding what to post. Heck, I guess it's my job to show you what I really like so that's what I did here. That doesn't mean all other photos are rubbish so I decided to include a mini slide show if your broadband happens to work well.
As you know there's a gay parade tonight and a dress up party at Flying Scotts Man. I won't be attending either of them because I decided for once to spend some time with friends. How about that! :)
