Jean-Charles de Castelbajac

Jean-Charles de Castelbajac (born 28 November 1949 in Casablanca, Morocco) is a French fashion designer and also has the title of marquis.

Jean Charles de Castelbajac has done it all, from designing giant Snoopy T-shirts and inflatable ponchos to a coat of teddybears worn by Madonna as seen in the film Prêt-a-porter (worn by model Helena Christensen).

Since the age of 20, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac has designed original clothing that encourages an aesthetic way of life. Colourful and fun; his designs reflect a passion for art and nature.

Castelbajac defies fashion standards with sportswear that does not forget a spirit of elegance: hijacking materials such as blankets, floor cloths, and ace bandages combined with basic colors or pursuing co-operative endeavours with artists to design his famed Painting-Dresses.

It is Castelbajac who first encouraged Vivienne Westwood to show her designs during Paris Fashion Week as he was, and continues to be close friends with Vivienne's former partner Malcolm McClaren. It is possible to see why Castelbajac would support Vivienne Westwood, as he has paid hommage to her in recent years using pop images and the British Union Jack in some of his designs as were designed by Vivienne and Jamie Reid for her World's End labels "Let It Rock", "Too Young to Live, Too Fast to Die", "Sex", "Nostalgia of Mud", and "Seditionnaries".

The designer also makes home furnishings, reviving traditional furnishings (such as the Chesterfield sofa and the Medaillon style chair) with the colors. A line of carpets, light fittings, porcelain and household linen also reflect the Castelbajac style.

In addition, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac proves his talent as a fashion designer by applying his personal touch to all aspects of our daily life. For example, he designed the visuals for the opening credits of Muzzik; the cable television station.
