Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's intellectual French vibe is appealing to girls who like their vintage on the edgy side. A conceptual designer, his clothes are more than clothes... they are social commentaries and tactile sculptures that enable the woman to be more than a spectator of fashion but a participant. From his early work which can be angry and political to his statements like inflatable ponchos and teddy bear jackets, Castelbajac is a brilliant craftsperson with more than a handful of fantastic ideas and a wicked sense of humor. A pale taupe and cream poncho, trimmed in brick red leather, that is a massive buffalo check on the front and a small check on the flip side. Buttoning at the neck with a gusseted cream wool panel, this is a extremely soft and lofty and has great movement for a heavy brushed flannel. With a matching wide stole that echoes the half and half check pattern, we love it tossed around the neck to hang loosely down your spine. Sized for a modern 8 to small 14, we recommend that you be be at least 5'6" so it doesn't overwhelm you. This will also work on shorter women if you normally buy really assertive clothing. Excellent condition. $1750.00 |
