Brick-a-brac: Lego connects with fashion

France – Childish and playful design is creeping into grown-up style, offering a light-hearted alternative to the current serious mood. Incorporating ideas directly from toy specialist Lego, the French designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac featured models in multicoloured brick jackets and dresses in his recent catwalk shows. De Castelbajac has also presented an online offering using actual Lego men and women as models. These Lego creations take to the catwalk in micro-sized JC de Castelbajac clothing, providing micro-sized fun to lift the sober mood.
