Hey!

Welcome to The Very Simon G. My blog has been going for nearly a decade, but there ain’t getting away from me just yet! Come in for fashion, fun and everything in between. Enjoy!

JC de Castelbajac for Rossignol makes me want to ski!

I've never been a skier. I've never been to a ski resort. But I think I'd like to go. To a resort that is, and just do a Patsy from Absolutely Fabulous, go round and round on the ski lift with a bottle of bubbly.And, if I did go, I'd want to be decked out in the latest collection from the JC de Castelbajac x Rossignol collaboration. I'M MESMERIZED!

So Jean-Charles has been working with skiwear giants Rossignol for the past 13 years (news to me!), bringing his unique, amazing and super fun designs to ski slopes across the world. This is the AW14/15 collection, and if you watched the video above, you'd have seen that Jean-Charles actually painted this backdrop himself, there and then.The man's a genius!

I have seen the brand new collection, AW15/16, and it's another outstanding range, but won't be available until next autumn. I'll do a follow up post soon with the new pieces. But for the meantime, can we just marvel at this campaign imagery? Totally in awe. 

As you know I'm a massive fan of anything visually strong and colourful, and also a HUGE fan of anything JC de Castelbajac designs (check out me wearing some of his pieces here). The jacket below is my favourite from the collection, and although AW14/15 isn't the strongest for us men, WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR! OMG, it's even better!rossignol_RLDWP06_Z1Men 

Yellow for the boys, neck tube-y things, and some pieces for the girls!
