The Way We Wore's Designer Spot Light: Jean Charles de Castelbajac, Paris Fashions (Closet Tour)

[@hunty2u145]

Love to hear Doris speak about more obscure designers like JCDC. So happy you are making your own videos, they're brilliant!

[@nicolethijs5428]

He is not an obscure designer. He is a great designer but not a household name like Dior or Chanel.

[@sylvestregagnon5681]

Hunty 2u castelbajac had it heyday during 1980-90. He Is obscure for someone young and dont know much.

[@lillolf3758]

Did anyone ever tell you how soothing & melodic your voice is...this is the real vicarious retail therapy! Lo,

[@jumpbugs9213]

I just love the way Doris speak, it’s very laid back, allowing me to absorb all the info about vintage clothing etc.

[@sharonfarris1282]

Just wish she would speak louder but I do love videos. I

[@jag5798]

My fav is Jackie - its so artful and describes the moment without words.

[@lillolf3758]

Would love to see some vintage jewelry, too. You could maybe have necklaces, then next time earrings, hat pins, then next time bracelets (especially Karl), etc. Love all you do. You are so blessed to do what you obviously love!

[@lillolf3758]

Btw, i love whatever you present...just don't stop!

[@elonnabettini]

i love hearing that you respond to whimsy in your buying process ! sometimes it can be so overwhelming that it's hard to pick out what pieces are worth investing in ! my friends joke that they know that i've found something great while shopping if i say: "oh my god that's so stupid i LOVE it!" 😂😂

[@joaquimcosta786]

haha .. LOVE it Elonna .. I completely understand !

[@nlmikat]

How about your favorite 10 items for sale in the store for under $100!

[@thewaywewore7371]

Nonna Mikat That’s a great suggestion Nonna. I will put that in our list. Thanks for sending that to us!! Doris

[@debofChrist]

A sock, a pair of hose, a belt buckle, a button. 😂😂😂

[@sandradiaz3429]

I definitely like that Jackie 0. Shirt luv it.i love your channel

[@steven_ryan]

Wow Doris, these are amazing! I can’t believe that red beret coat; I love when humor and beauty collide. And the Jackie in mourning piece is so interesting to me - If you were to describe it, say, over the phone, I would potentially think less of it, but seeing it moving and in detail, it’s done so beautifully and the concept is really very powerful. I would absolutely love to see more designer highlights like this! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@thewaywewore7371]

Steven Ryan Thanks for taking the time to write Steven. I completely agree- a photo does not give it justice so glad we decided to do this focus on JCDC. I love whimsy in fashion and so many pieces of his bring a smile to my face. Stay tuned for more.

[@fortysomethingbadgirls2173]

Those last few pieces remind me of Andy Warhol art works. Thank you for sharing this designer. I have never heard of him.

[@adeletrimble4046]

This is wonderful, Doris! I’ve followed fashion since my early teens (I’m 54) and never heard of JC/DC. I love the education you provide. 😊

[@michaelmiller1215]

I love the ‘Rear Window ‘ piece! I wish there was one for “ Vertigo”!

[@anissaapolinario]

Thank you, Doris, for sharing. I really enjoyed L.A. Frock Stars because not only did I discover so many designers and artists but also appreciated fashion as part of history. May you always live your passion 💕

[@thewaywewore7371]

Anissa Apolinario Thanks for your kind words Anissa! I hope you have a chance to visit the store. DORIS

[@emlovespups4995]

Your voice is so relaxing and listening to you talk about these amazing pieces is very peaceful and enjoyable.

[@carminelangone7591]

his best time!!

[@RubyOpheliaQuinn]

I am so happy you started a KZbin channel! I love you and the passion you have for vintage fashion and how knowledgeable you are. I love when you get particularly excited about a piece and the way you encourage artists and creatives! I'm really looking forward to seeing more of the videos you make!

[@eg-g]

Hello, I am writing to you from Puerto Rico, I just discovered your channel and you can already imagine how you have me hooked on it. My big suggestion is that please make your shop online too, please, people who live far away need your grace and your good eye in our closets, thank you so much for the passion.

[@thewaywewore7371]

D. Gata Hi there! Thanks for your kind words. I LOVE PR and had the good fortune to live in Santurce in 1973 for a year. Was actually a disc jockey ( golden age of rock & roll) for WIAC-FM and used to take the boat to Cataño. Ah- the good ole days!! Anyway I wanted to let you know that we won’t be setting up our website for e-commerce as it costs way too much to do it right and the ROI isn’t there for vintage- with 1 item, 1 size. What we do want to do is personalize the www shopping experience. We can do a FaceTime walk through or send images of items that you request. We have to create a questionnaire to be sure to present items that are close to exactly what a person is in the market for. Would you like us to send you images of anything? Please let us know. So happy you found us. Thanks for your support!! Hoping your life on the island has not been too difficult with the after effects of the storms. ❤️ Doris

[@THEhahahaHALY]

Oh my I love his pieces and all of is sooooo iconic please show more of this

[@barry7147]

every story is great. dont say its me again we wait in delight for your stories. your story telling is so insightful and educating.

Definitely saved the best for last! That Jackie dress is beautiful.

[@ILIUSCOV]

So want to see more couture pieces - Chanel especially ❤️

[@joaquimcosta786]

I remembering going to Eaton's dept. store in Montreal in the 80's and drooling over the Castelbajac pieces... I love his bold color choices and his sense of humor. thank-you for this episode :)

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

love the dolphin shirt coz it's casual in the front and superfun in the back! the way the cutouts in front were probably thought of after the back was painted is so chic!

[@teraysa919]

I love love your u tube channel!! Thank you! Education Beyond! Beautiful Boutique. Suggestions a store tour. And Vintage Jewerly! Thank you! ❤

[@TheUltraViolets08]

Once again, its 1am and I find myself binge watching these videos. I adore this channel, I find the history of fashion so fascinating, I always lose hours watching. I could very happily watch her talk about fashion for hours on end. Please make a documentary I'll be that nerd who watches all two hours of it aha. Love you guys! 🥰

[@johoheneenflesmetrum]

How fabulous! Thank you for sharing. I would watch an episode like this on every designer in the shop 👌💕

[@thewaywewore7371]

johoheneenflesmetrum Hi there! We are working on it. We plan to post an episode a week.

[@vanesselampe3532]

Those clothes are art!

[@MrMd217]

The Jackie Kennedy piece was stunning! I loved the red jacket as well! Too cute!

[@annaragen904]

Hello from Malaysia! Big fan of Frock Stars and so glad you've started this channel! Would love a video on what to look for when shopping vintage...and also more affordable vintage picks in your store!

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

the jackie one is cool too!

[@lisamartinez952]

I’m delighted to have serendipitously found your channel! I am thoroughly enjoying your content. I adore JC/DC. I have an amazing bodycon style black and silver dress with scissors and screws. It zips up the front and on the sleeves. It fits like it was made for me and I always receive so many compliments when I wear it. I purchased it at Les Merveilles de Babellou. Whenever I’m in Paris, I shop there and at Thanx God I’m a VIP!

[@thewaywewore7371]

Lisa Martinez Hi Lisa! Your dress sounds wonderful!

[@jayneneewing2369]

How did I miss this for a year? I love her blouse. Funnily enough, the first thing that went through my head was! “That makes me smile.” The Doris used that phrase twice during the presentation.

[@deisymanzo3400]

Hello, I accidentally found your videos and now I can't stop watching! I love, love the whole history about vintage fashion but unfortunately I'm not very knowledgeable about it and your videos are just full of information and amazing pieces....

[@deidrabenson361]

I could listen to you for hours! Your knowledge of fashion history is incredible, wow!!😍

[@sjane7229]

That beret jacket!!!!!

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

the grand piano dress damn!!!

[@bronxbaubles]

I’m really enjoying your stories Doris. When I hit the thrift stores I always look for whimsy. I’d love to see videos on costume jewelry. What’s hot to collect and what jewelry you see as up and coming for the future collector.

[@oliviaharoutounian3619]

Doris! I'm so happy you're on youtube now, I used to love LA Frockstars and have learned so much from you. Your collection of Castelbajac is soooo amazing. Do you have any Anne Marie Beretta, Romeo Gigli, or Norma Kamali? I would die to see!!

[@thewaywewore7371]

Olivia Haroutounian Hi Olivia. I don’t have Beretta or Gigli at this point in time. My Kamali selection is not very interesting but I will but these suggestions on our list of possible future episodes. I’m all honesty, I’m Not familiar with Beretta.

[@jenniferkelley6417]

I LOVE your videos! Oh my how much I have learned about fashion history watching you. Please just keep making more...I love your focus on specific designers and how you love the whimsical pieces. I also love when you talk about specific decades and what and who influenced fashion. I long to visit your boutique!

[@thewaywewore7371]

Jennifer Kelley Hi Jennifer. Thank you for your comment. I feel the love! Hope you have a chance to visit the store. If you do come, please introduce yourself. If I’m around I can show you some “behind the scenes” places. Thanks for watching! Doris

[@georgespelvin6496]

I just discovered your channel love it! Thank you for sharing your collection and knowledge.

[@whynot2644]

So you just popped up. And I was so pissed that I had no idea about the KZbin channel. I loved the show. So I thought I had been missing out on the channel. But now know that this is new. This is my first comment since I started watching oldest to new. 1st thing is knowledge, how have you learned so much. You're knowledge is so expansive. You don't just collect because it's pretty, you collect with such knowledge. 2nd. How do you insure these collections. These are huge investments, as in museum quality. 3rd. I think anything you do on this channel will be enjoyed. But I really love your ability to show and tell. The who, what ,when, where, and why's. I always learn somthing. I'm so excited for you guys doing this and for me being able to watch. Thank you.

[@thewaywewore7371]

Shane Asa You just got a huge smile from me. 😁 my knowledge has come with hands on and from really amazing people in the industry who have been very generous in sharing their experiences. I am definitely under-insured it my building has been retro-fitted for added safety in the event there is an earthquake. And thank you for your vote of confidence. This has been a huge part of my life for over 4 decades so I live sharing what I have and what I know. So glad you found us! Doris

I'm so excited to have found this channel!!! I loved LA frock stars and it made me more interested in vintage fashion. well fashion in general. I'm so happy that you're continuing the story and spreading more love and joy. My absolute favourite designers are Rei Kawakubo and Vivienne Westwood. I would love to see a video similar to this one on them.

[@thewaywewore7371]

Carrel Laco Hi Carrel. Thanks for your love and enthusiasm. We appreciate your support!! I will put your suggestion on our list of possible episodes. Your 2 mentioned designers are favorites of mine as well. Thanks for your interest! Doris

[@randomgardenia]

I feel like the Fats Domino garment has a FULL PIANO TOP on the back, not the just keyboard. That's why it has only one sleeve. It's the perfect shape. How fun

[@kays3956]

Hi Doris, Thank you for this episode. The education on JCDC is eye-opening and delightful insights into American fashion. I am from Southeast Asia and snippets on American designers like JCDC is so welcome. Also, if its not too much to ask, could you tell us more in detail of the items you are wearing. I am always curious to know why you pick the pieces... but the colours you chose are so spot-on. I love turquiose on you! Best wishes.

[@thewaywewore7371]

Kay S Thank you for your compliment Kay! Wanted to correct one thing- JC/DC is French and I will watch the episode to see if I said something to mislead the audience. Regarding your suggestion, I appreciate it but I don’t want our brief 10-12 minutes to focus on me. The clothes tell the story. My choices are primarily for color (blues & purple are my favorite) and design to camouflage the 18 pounds I have put on. Thank you for watching. We have some great topics coming up and I am leaving in a week for a buying trip to Europe. Doris

[@kays3956]

Thank you for your reply Doris. My mistake. It was clear you did not mean JCDC as an American or a nationality. When you pulled out the pieces, maybe due to my ignorance or lack knowledge of American fashion, I thought he had an American persuasion. Apologies. By the way, I love what you did in this episode.

The Fats Domino is in the shape of a grand piano.

Do I spy a Moschino life jacket-jacket in the background? Thank you so much for this video! I learned a lot. This was so enjoyable, that two person anorak is hilarious. :) The Jackie Kennedy piece was really so beautiful And the Red beret coat is really stunning - for some reason I pictured Rihanna wearing it.

[@thewaywewore7371]

[@eichhornchen8129]

How about accessories? Accesorizing is a great way to jush up everyday outfits... I have a ton and would be very interested in that topic :). From jewelry to scarfs to belts to ... idk, you are the expert(s). Some years ago someone snatched a vintage Hermès scarf I was bidding on with the motto of Paris in Latin on it: Fluctuat nec mergirur - I adore this motto/saying and would have loved to own it. It wasn't even that expensive. Hermès scarfs certainly aren't everybody's cup of tea, so... On the other hand I was lucky enough to find a unique belt at the last Hermès sale ever conducted on German soil prior to the Sale location being changed to Paris. It basically is a scarf with Barenia leather straps! And not for the waist, but rather wide enough to be worn closer to the hips. It is one of a kind and I am so happy to have found and bought it. Nobody else has it :D. I also found and grabbed a hand knit scarf in a Norwegian knitting pattern in similar colors as said belt with a label indicating the hand knit part :). I have amazing purses from the glorious time the Daniel Swarovski haute couture brand was still a thing. Very expensive for what it is, i. e. glass costume jewelry- but the pieces are amazing. I have several items I have a giant cuff with crystals from white to smoky quartz to light grey set in silver colored setting - Celine Dion owns one of those. I only get these items out of their original packing/boxes to polish them like Elizabeth Taylor. I also have one of their bags. Those were famously expensive, but worth every penny. I have worn mine only once, several years after its purchase.To the wedding of my ex mother in law. My ex and me even took the time to count the crystals once. Something like 9000 on that bag, from body to handle. A thing of beauty when worn in combination with a subdued outfit. Silk lining. Still in impeccable condition - once worn. Labels still attached, of course. Still have the receipt and everything. I once lost a crystal on a bracelet. It was sent to Paris for remedial maintenance. My ex found a 50s costume jewelry piece brooch - it is an overflowing cornucopia of crystals. Very thoughtful present. We both are Libras. Ruinous. I should write a book I guess :D. Sorry, but accessories are my fave. Don't get me started on shoes.. I am too poor to buy affordable (cheap) shoes. As Goethe said: Excuse the long winded letter. I did not have enough time to write a shorter one

[@vmcurry1]

Love LA Frock stars!!!

[@sylvestregagnon5681]
