where are all my designer!cas and muse!dean fics though? dean has been cas’s biggest supporter since the first bedsheet he cut up as a child. and no matter how many times cas shows at paris fashion week, dean’s always the first person he calls when he gets off the runway. cas is known as an enigma in the industry; he favours a well-cut suit and an ill-fitting trench but designs unapologetically queer, edgy, raw clothing rife with leather and grommets and bolts. he plays with gender. more recently, he mixes architectural design with flowing elegance.
he’s queer, he’s young, he’s single and no one knows a damn thing about him. he’s subdued at parties. hates doing interviews. the only person who can pull him from his studio in lebanon, kansas, is the mechanic who drives a classic car.
when cas started seriously going to drag shows, he began experimenting with more traditionally feminine silhouettes. when his sibling, hannah, came out as non-binary, he created an entire collection of gender-neutral clothing. since seeing him sweaty and covered in grease, every collection has at least one piece inspired by dean’s coveralls. it takes years for cas to expand into lingerie, but he eventually does, and somehow it’s only natural to pair leather harnesses with intricate lace. satin and silk with pvc. things are going really well until cas needs a model for one of the pieces.
there is just so much potential here i dunno.
