These guys were walking into the Louvre - they are both from Paris - which surprised me - they looked like London guys...
This lady is from Vienna her name is Koelbl - she was in the queue for the Jean-Charles de Castlebajac catwalk show at the Carrousel du Louvre.
All staff for the JC Castelbajac show were wearing these cool T-shirts and his signature Yellow Acid smiley faces - and in fact all the staff were really 'nice' - a rare moment in fashion -
This is Alex part of the Castelbajac's Press team - we (Diana and Alison) managed to get shown straight through into the arena for the show - as we worked with JC this season at On|Off...
JCDC had decorated the space and it looked amazing - you get a real sense of a huge international brand - this is real international fashion - its all done on such a larger scale here... this set must have cost! - We're really excited as the red black drop and the white spots featured in the work that JCDC produced for On|Off's marketing materials this season - our travel card wallets and windows for London Fashion Week - Also the drum kit added to our excitement
