De CASTELBAJAC, JC. Fashion Art and Rock ‘n’ Roll.

(Kempen, Belgium): teNeues / YellowKorner, 2016. First edition. Hardcover. 37.5cm by 26.5cm. 347 pages. A substantial visual record of one of the most inventive and unconventional figures in late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century fashion, whose work helped dissolve traditional boundaries between couture, street culture, contemporary art, and rock music. Spanning more than four decades of work, the volume documents Castelbajac’s distinctive fusion of fashion, contemporary art, popular culture, music, graphic design, and performance. Illustrated with runway photography, campaign imagery, sketches, archival material, celebrity portraits, and documentation of collaborations with figures including Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Malcolm McLaren, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and Beyoncé. The volume also records de Castelbajac’s influential work for Iceberg, and his celebrated pop-iconography collections. A very good copy in photo-illustrated boards, some bumping to board edges. This copy decorated with original artwork by Castelbajac across the contents page and the facing blank page.
