JEAN CHARLES DE CASTELBAJAC SPRING 2010

Jean Charles De Castelajac is hands down one most innovative designers creating today. Each season I can expect to be entertained and inspired from viewing his collections. I can’t wait for the day to be able to attend one of his shows. It would be a dream.  Keep reading, I also posted another video from his Spring 2010 show and IQONS.com magazine interviewed him about designing a collection from the Pope and his priests.

IQONS.com “The most amazing adventure of JC/DC’s life so far was when he was asked to dress 5,000 priests, 500 bishops and the Pope for their visit in Paris. The theme of the collection was the rainbow based on the story of Noah and the arc. God spoke to Noah and told him that “if you see the rainbow in the sky there will be peace between me and the human race”. The idea went over well but JC/DC thought it best to inform the Bishop that the rainbow was also the symbol of the gay community. The Bishop’s reaction was not one of shock rather he said that nobody owned the copyright on the rainbow and that was that. Once the work was completed the Pope spoke to JC/DC: “Young man, you have used colour as a cement of faith.” Read more about the article here.

Here is the second part of the show.

The band playing at the fashion is called Ebony Bones. The band is comprised for musicians and dancers from around the world.
