1943-1949
Cashin became so recognized that she was commissioned to design, and add designer cachet to, World War II Civilian Defense Uniforms. Capitalizing on her fame and charismatic, working woman persona, Coca-Cola featured her in a wartime campaign. Despite her recognition, then rare for a designer "in the back" of a dress manufacturing firm, she disliked her safe berth and entertained several offers from Hollywood. In the fall of 1942 she returned to California to become a designer in the "glamour division" at Twentieth Century-Fox.
