Paris Fashion Week – Castelbajac

On Tuesday in Paris, designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac let the Muppets loose, along with Clint Eastwood, Michael Jackson, and dollar bills with Barack Obama’s face replacing George Washington’s. While Karl Lagerfeld outfitted Chanel’s models in demure, chic pink and black, Castelbajac sent a sequined funky chicken down the runway, as well as a model wearing an outrageous Kermit the Frog coat (pictured below). Some of his designs are pure artistic folly, but some are sure to find their way onto the streets of Paris and Brooklyn. After all, who doesn’t love a sweatshirt that reads “I HEART French Lips?”
