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]
