Sassa Jimenez (born December 17, 1987) is a Filipina fashion designer.[1] She was selected as one of the presenters at the bi-annual Philippine Fashion Week.[2][3][4][5] In 2009, she focused her "club glam" style towards "partyphiles" by using snakeskin and metallic.[6] A report in Status Magazine suggested that she was moving away from her "signature pretty and sweet designs" and instead playing with leather, dark colors, and different silhouettes in 2012.[7]
Early life[edit]
Her father serves as a tourism secretary.[8] She studied creative writing at the Ateneo de Manila University. Later, she studied at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, California.[9][10] She finished the course in a year and a half and graduated cum laude.[9]
Career[edit]
In 2008, Jimenez began showcasing her designs at the Philippine Fashion Week.[10][11] Her collection was described as "refreshing and feminine, with classic, clean lines and surprising twists",[8] "a breath of fresh air",[9] "could have been purchased off the rack from local retail stores",[9] "polished, sleek, and sexy",[12] with a 1940s old-school look.[2][13]
