WHO YAH GONNA CALL???

LET'S FACE IT, THERE JUST AREN'T THAT MANY GREAT FASHION DESIGNERS WHO HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR AND ARE ABLE TO USE IT. THE ITALIAN DESIGNER ELSA SCHIAPARELLI TOOK UP THE CAUSE OF TOUNGE-IN-CHEEK COMEDY IN CLOTHING, BUT FEW HAVE CARRIED ON THE TORCH. IN AMERICA WE HAVE JEREMY SCOTT AND BETSEY JOHNSON. IN EUROPE THERE IS MOSCHINO AND, OF COURSE, JC de CASTELBAJAC. Mr. JC CAN THROW AROUND A POP CULTURE REFERENCE LIKE NO BODY'S BUSINESS! HE SEEMS TO ESPECIALLY LIKE PLAYING AROUND WITH THE POPULAR CARTOON AND COMIC BOOK ICONS. WHO CAN FORGET HIS OVER SIZED CARTOON CHARACTER SWEATERS FROM THE 80's? OR HIS CHEEKY KERMIT THE FROG JACKET WORN BY LADY GAGA. AND LET'S NOT FORGET HIS STUFFED TEDDY BEAR PANTS WORN BY THE FLEA OF THE RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS.

THE SEQUINED 'SUPERGIRL' MINI DRESS SHOWN HERE WAS FROM HIS S/S '09 COLLECTION. THE DRESS HAD MATCHING GLOVES AND SHOES AND GLASSES, BUT, SADLY, THE MATCHING GIANT ROTARY PHONE WAS NOT MADE AVAILABLE. TSK TSK
