If you follow me on Instagram (your not? How rude! @theverysimong) you'd have seen me gush over some of the details from JC de Castelbajac's brand new spring summer 2015 collection. It's amazing. As are all of the French designer's clothes. And now we (well, all the people in Mexico in particular) can enjoy THIS coat, from his autumn winter 2014 collection, on the cover of October's Elle magazine.You may not have seen, but back in June, Jean Charles actually took over French Stylist magazine for one week (see here). He was on the cover, covered in his own sketches. I'm just so happy that JC de Castelbajac is having a resurgence. Back in the early 90s, his catwalk shows were EVERYTHING. Models sashayed down them, all smiles, and made them fun. Not like today's harsh, stark alternatives.What I love about him is the level of fabulousness he injects into his clothes. The autumn winter 2014 collection, from which this coat is from, featured a lot of his now iconic face sketches, and seeing them realised in thick coats like this one is quite extraordinary.No wonder Elle Mexico chose this coat, and this collection, to champion for the 'Art Issue'.
Yours truly, The VSG x
