Every head piece created is unique to the Cassandra Pennisi label. HISTORY Cassandra Pennisi is a label which was born out of the designers love for illustration and the freedom which fashion allows. Cassandra grew up in Queensland living an enriched childhood of outdoor adventures and simple pleasures. Her love of vast landscapes and the natural environment pay homage to the way in which the designer employs subtle yet striking detail into her garments. Her passion for illustration and all things artistic led her to a degree in design where the foundations and desire to create pieces uniquely her own manifested. Graduating from Whitehouse Institute of Design in 2011, Cassandra interned for Melbourne labels Maticevski and Nevenka before realising her passion lay in developing a label which would reflect the influence and her views on the surroundings of her existence.
