Famed for his eccentric couture creations, Jean Charles de Catelbajac outs himself for Spring Summer 2011. Acting as unexpected accessories to his colorful Pop Art prints, gold and silver watches are stacked around the neckline.
Perhaps he's always late? Drawing comparisons with the OTT excess of Mr. T, Castelbajac mixes a few Eiffel Tower souvenirs into the layered-timepiece mix. A Swarovski-encrusted boom box completes the aesthetic.
The epitome of Parisian kookiness? We think so!
