Jean Charles de Castelbajac releases a new book Jean-Charles de Castelbajac – Fashion, Art & Rock’n’Rollpublished by teNeues and YellowKorner.
Beyoncé in a sequined jacket, Rihanna as Donald Duck or the queen of disguise, Lady Gaga, in a Kermit the frog coat: they’ve all worn his creations and made him world-famous. Jean-Charles de Castelbajac is the fashion designer who knows how to dress women with courage and creativity. And his sometimes unusual taste has earned him the nickname “King of the Unconventional”. After designing a collection for his mother’s fashion company in 1968, he set up his own label in 1978, and since then has launched numerous successful collections and entered into a wide variety of partnerships. From chasubles for the Pope, to costumes for Woody Allen’s Annie Hall, to the TV series Drôles de dames and Sex and the City: for decades, Castelbajac has been at the forefront of style and fashion. What’s more, he’s always known how to combine fashion and art, as demonstrated by his collaborations with Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Take a look behind the scenes of this design great and learn all about the artist’s beginnings and his success, which has never waned to this day.
JEAN-CHARLES DE CASTELBAJAC is one of those emblematic transgenerational designers. Not so much for the creations themselves, but for the total, polymorphous work he has been creating for decades. His thinking is a kind of rhizome, launching a thousand concepts in a thousand directions, each of which gives rise to a creation, a sound, a collaboration, a production or a drawing.
