They eventually moved and settled in the United States. Continuously moving with her family from New York to Los Angeles, Sasani was predominately raised in Southern California. In her mid teens her family left the congested city and moved to the suburbs. She graduated community college and she continued her education at the University of California Riverside in which she earned a Bachelors Degree in Psychology.

Sasani was first exposed to the fashion industry when she got involved with modeling in her later teens. She experienced traveling, photo shoots, being creative and using her imagination. Without any prior schooling or training, she developed and created her own style and design: Pécosa CéCéla. Her debut fashion show was sponsored by Project Ethos in July 2007. Since then Pécosa CéCéla has appeared on magazine covers, editorials and award shows. Currently, Pegah Sasani at the tender age of 23, is based and working in Los Angeles, California where she is diligently pursuing her dream of becoming recognized and respected in the world of fashion.
