Today Jean-Charles de Castelbajac showed this phenomenal red plaid fringed coat with slightly cropped ‘n’ rolled cuffs and center front buttons. A week ago, I happened to purchase a red plaid fringed coat with slightly cropped ‘n’ rolled cuffs and center front buttons… at the Salvation Army. Am I a fashion future seer or did Jean-Charles somehow see me and quickly add it to his collection?

Jean-Charles de Castelbajac has decided to launch a teen line, JCDC, complete with cool tees and jackets with Castelbajac’s usual quirks (lots of Disney characters!). He’s looking for ‘real life’ hipsters to walk his runway this fashion week for the official launch.

London’s prodigy designer, William Tempest, has me on structure overload with his meticulously constructed Fall 2009 collection. Having worked closely with Giles Deacon, Jean Charles de Castelbajac and Diesel, there is no questioning where the man gets his skill from. Utilizing several earthly elements inspired patterns, there is no doubt that Tempest’s Fall 2009 collection has a subdued version of earth,wind and fire on the brain. Unlike many designers, who’s work tends to be reworked before hitting the market, Tempest’s exact items are now available for purchase on Browns London!

If Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s Mupppet inspired Fall 2009 collection didn’t stir your nostalgia, then his customizable lego sunglasses certainly will! Available in red, white and yellow, these shades are completely “brick-able” and ready for your building pleasure. Me, I’d stick a bunch of those Lego people on the sides and call it a party.
Thanks Dazed Digital!

Tongues are wagging that burlesque beauty, Dita Von Teese, has hooked herself a younger French aristocrat. 
Guess we know who she will be wearing for now on…
LINKAGE: Psst… Is Dita Von Teese secretly dating Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s son?

Hartmann Nordenholz was founded by Filip Fiska and Agnes Schorer in 2000, under the expert guidance of Helmut Lang, Marc Bohan and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. Filip learned from the mastery of Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Viktor&Rolf and Raf Simons, but I think the collection stands on its own, away from other influencers.
