Castelbajac's Über Tropikal Airlines

Much love for JCDC' SS11 collection. Playful with a twist as always. I have been following him for some years, and still dreaming of the 'Creditcard dress' from the Spring 2009 collection. But maybe I need to revise that dream? Don't you think?



His inspiration is as clear as the skies he was flying in, when he was enjoying a nice tequila sunrise (just imagining), to probably some nice tropical resort. And there is only one person who can come up with a collection so imaginative, and that is Jean Charles De Castelbajac! The use of the same basic colors in almost every collection always seem different. Bright yellows, cobalt blue's, bright red's and grass greens are a must! I would almost miss it, if it weren't there.

You can see the story behind the collection, and that makes it an easy-and-fun to watch collection. From the comfortable flight, to a crash in the middle of an unknown Tropikal jungle and the journey of trying to find your way out, while the animals around you are keeping a close watch. Everything you will need and meet during this adventure, Castelbajac used and made it fashion! Perfectly portrayed and wearable at the same time.

Details I do love, Felix The Cat and the Eiffel Tower.
