House of Cassette S/S 2008
—
A Study of Movement in Quiet Space.
For Spring/Summer 2008, House of Cassette continues from its past Fall/Winter 07
narrative of seclusion in winter’s bosom, to the open embrace of a winter thawed.
When can Movement prove to be both Fierce and Beautiful? It is within these constructs
that Cassette embarks on a path of uncharted land, a gradual awakening to the grand
frontier.
Whereas past collections of Cassette have carried an underlying monochromatic scheme,
S/S 08 heralds a new chapter of subtle movement and color. Colors ranging from
lavender, pink rose, red, and lilac find themselves on tailored woven shirtings, jersey
knits, and light linen coats.
Synonymous to movement, the concept of Fluidity plays a key role in the S/S 08 theme.
The introduction of Modal, a silky luxurious soft fabric of jersey knit, one can appreciate
its application from the various fashion top offerings in its women capsule collection. For
men, Cassette continues to revisit classic military attire, refining core design elements
utilizing heavyweight fleece in their coats, finished with a characteristic storm tail cut.
Attention to the tiniest of details: Trims using British fabric to Riri zippers, built for
industry grade; Articulated darting for an exact fit, putting function and tailoring as its
prerogative; House of Cassette intends to outfit travelers in this grand journey of self-
discovery. This great want to explore, traversing the unknown, rejoicing in its
solitude…it is these such intimate moments in which House of Cassette not only
recognizes, but wills to celebrate.
