Scassi was born in Montreal and his real last name is Isac but had the clever idea of changing the letters of his last name. He apprenticed at the house of Paquin a haute couture house in Paris before moving to NYC where he got a job at Charles James. This 1980s red cotton lace evening gown shows the Charles James influence on Scaasi. Very structural in design especially the skirt.shorter in the front and longer in the back. Strapless, fitted bodice with a matching red shawl. Measures bust 38, waist 28, hips 40, length 50. Excellent condition appears unworn
