The models' expressions suit Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's joke: dresses that imitate the front of a red telephone, a robot, a pack of cigarettes, a can of soup, a petrol can or even a toothpaste tube. His simple, enveloping clothes remain true to the uncut cloth. Thick, felt-like fabrics have preoccupied him since he was at boarding school, where he cut his first garment out of a blanket. He was one of France's new age of ready-to-wear designers in the 1960s and has worked with Pop Art themes such as Warhol's Campbell's soup can, which he printed onto a cylindrical dress in 1984. Inspired by the work of Paco Rabanne and Pierre Cardin, which he said surpassed the work of artists working on the theme of futurism, he has been called "the space-age Bonnie Cashin". In 2006 the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, featured a display that showed the variety of his work, including jackets made from toys, parachute ballgowns and Pop Art dresses.
