Monday night at Le Bain, Los Angeles designer Brian Lichtenberg hosted a private party where he screened a short film, a preview of his new collection to be shown next month at L.A. Fashion Week. Lichtenberg's friend/devoted customer/R&B superstar Cassie was on hand, hosting the event with him, alongside Dazed director Greko Sklavounos. The film, "Song of the Siren," which features a gold lame-bikini-clad model doing her best slow-mo walk on the beach "was meant to hypnotize," the filmmaker explained. "It's less of a fashion film and more of a tone piece. We shot it in Malibu, and we spray-tanned the model and bleached her eyebrows. it's very LA and we wanted to bring a piece of that to New York." Brian says that he's been thinking about showing in New York for some time now. "I'm really just waiting for the right time. I hope by next season," he said.

Cassie gushed about the designer, "I wear it all, everything of his fits me to a T. I've worn a lot of his stuff either out or in my videos, so, the relationship grew from that. We plan on working together on my upcoming project a lot, too." Regarding her much-delayed sophomore album, the singer told us that it's no longer called ElectroLuv: "We're still thinking of a name. The first single, "King of Hearts," drops the end of October and we're shooting a video soon for it. It's got a nice airy type of club vibe...This is the first album of mine that I got to go work with producers and collaborators that I'm fans of. There's a lot of dance elements, R&B and hip-hop. I like to call it 'jungle' music. A little bit Ibiza, a little bit Harlem. We're hoping for a second single by January."

The 25-year-old former model turned Sean "Diddy" Combs protege told us that when it comes to choosing outfits, "The first thing that I go for is structure. Then color and texture. Something that fits well, but, also fits my personality. I started as a model, so, fashion's very important to me. I read a lot of magazines, I'm very aware." And we could tell. She arrived in a dress by Brian that isn't even available to the public yet. "It's a perk," she laughed.
