With the onset of [[World War II]], Cassandre served in the [[French army]] until the fall of France. His business long gone, he survived by creating stage sets and costumes for the theatre, something he had dabbled in during the 1930s.<ref>[http://www.lesarchivesduspectacle.net/?IDX_Personne=21552 Archives du spectacle]</ref> After the war, he continued this line of work while also returning to easel painting. He worked with several famous French fashion houses, designing playing cards and scarfs for [[Hermès]]<ref>[http://www.wopc.co.uk/france/cassandra-hermes The World of Playing Cards]</ref> and the well-known [[Yves Saint-Laurent (brand)|Yves Saint Laurent]] logo.

In his later years, Cassandre suffered from bouts of [[depression (mood)|depression]] prior to his suicide in Paris in June 1968.<ref name="identifont"/> He was buried in the Parisian [[Montparnasse Cemetery]] (8th division).

In 1985, his son Henri Mouron published a study of his father's work in a book titled ''A.M. Cassandre''.<ref>{{cite book |last=Mouron |first=Henri |title=A. M. Cassandre |translator=Michael Taylor |publisher=Rizzoli |date=1985 |isbn=0-8478-0651-0}}</ref>
