The definitive monograph on pioneering French designer, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac.
Jean-Charles de Castelbajac is a fashion designer and visionary artist who rewrote the sector’s traditional codes in the 1970s with a focus on accumulation, appropriation and the alternative use of objects. From teddy-bear coats to two-person ponchos and leather modelled after tree bark, he has always explored fashion's playful and experimental possibilities.
Born in Casablanca, Morocco, Castelbajac originally began working for his mother’s clothing company. He was then appointed as the artistic director of major fashion houses – including Max Mara and Courrèges – during the 1970s and 1990s. Castelbajac’s clothes embody a passion for history, the world of childhood innocence and Pop art, and he pioneered the concept of fashion collaborations, working with artists such as Keith Haring and Cindy Sherman.
This expansive publication brings together work from across his storied career to explore his multifaceted creative spirit. Featuring some of his most iconic creations alongside his recent work, this book is the ultimate guide to one of fashion’s greatest innovators.
