Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, also known as JC/DC, born 1949 in Casablanca, Morocco, is a fashion designer. Known for his use of playful themes within his collections and runway shows. If color produces optimism, then Jean-Charles de Castelbajac is the most optimistic designer in existence.
Castelbajac is a man of passions—for form and function, for color, for comfort and protection—and therein lies the basis of this humanistic designer. Castelbajac began his obsession by cutting his first garment out of a blanket from boarding school. Because the material already existed, he was left to play only with the form. Many times each year he returns to this first gesture, cutting the cloth, so he remains close to its essence and function.
After the success of the JCDC Lego collection, the inspiration just keeps extending to different categories and new styles; some wearable, some great for catwalk, as shown below.
