Jean Charles de Castelbajac A/W 10-11

Godiva hangs out with Bambi in this modern day fairytale Since developing his JCDC diffusion line, Jean Charles de Castelbajac has seemingly reassessed his main first line and as a result, the majority of this Go Go Diva collection is even more easier to break downand to see as strong pieces individually. Castle stone printed belted coats come trooping out with accompanying menswear running in tandem. The story may be about Lady Godiva living in a castle but she's no simpering maiden and has in fact used her beauty against injustice and along the way, has decked herself out in modern clothes with only slightly Medieval touches. Her friend Bambi is introduced mid way in the form of furry antlers, on shoulders, printed across satin dresses and embroidered over a tapestry leaf pattern. JCDC's signature primary colour palette also infiltrates through the stained glass window and cross motifs with special mention to the assembled acrylic window pane dress. Fans of JCDC such as Beth Ditto also gets immortalised onto one of his trademark pop art dresses. Finally, Godiva's full power is unleashed through robo jockey outfits complete with horse helmets.
