Jean-Charles de Castelbajac

November 28, 1949, Casablanca, Morocco

Paris

I’ve always had a great fondness for poor, rough materials.

An avant-garde designer and artist, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac anticipated what today constitutes the basis of new creation: art and fashion, detour and collaboration.

His multi-disciplinary work in art, fashion and design revolves around a short chromatic range of blue, yellow and red.

His clothes and his art are imbued with his passion for history, the world of childhood and Pop art. He has collaborated with many artists, including Keith Haring, Lady Gaga and Robert Mapplethorpe. His art is expressed through installations, performances, chalk street-art, drawings and collages.

He was artistic director of United Colors of Beneton from 2018 to 2022.

In 2021-2022, his artistic work was the subject of an exhibition entitled “The People of Tomorrow” at the Centre Pompidou’s children’s gallery, which travelled to Shanghai’s West Bund Museum in 2023 and to the Centre Pompidou Malaga until 2024.

In 2023, he produced a collection of his designs for the Gien faience factory. In June 2024, he installed a 15-metre permanent sculpture of a latticework angel on the wall of the Société de Géographie on Boulevard Saint Germain in Paris.

For the Diocese of Paris, he created the liturgical vestments and ornaments for the reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris in December 2024.

In April 2025, at the Milan Furniture Fair, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac presented an installation called “Game of Love” for his “La Couleur de nos Rêves” collection, which he had designed for Pierre Frey.
