Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, also known as JC/DC,[1] born 28 November 1949 in Casablanca, Morocco, is a fashion designer. As the Marquis de Castelbajac, he is a French nobleman. He has enjoyed international success with some of his creations, including a coat of teddy bears worn by Madonna and by supermodel Helena Christensen in the film Prêt-à-Porter. Recently JC de Castelbajac has befriended designers such as Cassette Playa and The Coconut Twins [KESH & ZEZI]. His fashion archive was showcased in preparation for his retrospective "Gallie Rock" in Paris by photographers Tim and Barry, modelled by Cassette Playa, M.I.A., Jammer, Matthew Stone, Slew Dem Crew and more. As well as his imaginative clothing collections the designer also creates home furnishings.

I like JC/DC's designs, it reminds me of House of Holland or Jeremy Scott, they all have that eclectic edge to their designs. He also designed Eddie Murphy's costumes for his starring role in Coming to America in 1988 and he styled Farah Fawcett for the hit TV series Charlie's Angels in the mid 70's. JC designed the infamous "Obama Dress" seen in his Fall 08 RTW show in Paris.
Rainbow one shoulder dress I ADORE from his spring 09 collection. I have a thing for rainbows, my friends think I'm secretly gay.
