"  Almost two years ago, singer/model Cassie (back when she had hair on both sides of her head) wore a sleeveless, funnel-necked black leather sheath dress to a low profile birthday party in Manhattan. Melodramatic as it sounds, that dress\u2014its perfect fit, its demure cut, its Margiela-like, yet wearable high and wide funnel neck\u2014is responsible for broadening my then far narrower personal style. And on top of that, boy, did I want to wear it. For months I Googled every permutation of search terms you can think of relating to Cassie, that night, and that dress. I triple checked every designer&amp;#039;s runway looks going back as many seasons as I could find, even for those like Dries, Philip, and Calvin whose aesthetic never had and likely never would include something of the fitted black leather variety. I waited anxiously, especially after evening leather took off in &amp;#039;08, for someone else to give the dress some red carpet face time, but sadly, no. Nothing. Until a few weeks ago when Kylie Minogue was seen out and about, looking radiant and surprisingly not age inappropriate in the same exact design. Now that I have proof the dress is not a custom-made piece, someone out there must know from whence it came. Please speak up\u2014I can&amp;#039;t wait another 21 months!   Do you know this dress?
