Always a riotous force in the fashion world, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac was the first designer who upgraded sport and working clothing to the level of high fashion with his debut collection in 1970. He used his runway as a vehicle for sending his messages to the world by writing them on is anoraks, parkas and overalls and his creations are considered timeless as they do not follow any particular trends. Always designing with a sense of humor, de Castelbajac has become known for his use of colorful art and printed images.
