Bennetton has named Fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac as the new artistic director of its men's and womenswear collection. The brand's boss Luciano Benetton said in a statement..."We are happy to welcome Jean-Charles de Castelbajac into our big family. Born from a mix of punk and pop, his style is characterized by the use of strong colors and pop icons, the mix of old and new and a whimsical and irreverent touch," who ability and strength are in forecasting the future social and fashion trends.

Jean-Charles de Castelbajec launched and debuted his collection with his mother back in 1968 and since then he has grown from strength and had a long-standing career in fashion, advertising, painting and street art.

"United Colors of Benetton and I have always had a similar take on fashion, characterized by the passion for knitwear and the love of pop and rainbow Colors. Thanks to social networks, fashion today is visible to everyone. But it remains affordable only to a few. Together, United Colors of Benetton and I will seek to create tomorrow's wardrobe, bringing beauty and style to everyday life, at prices that everyone can afford." Castelbajac said.

In 2006 Victoria & Albert Museum showcased some of Castelbajac iconic work including a Campbell's soup can dress, the teddy-bear fur coat, giant Snoopy t-shirts, and inflatable ponchos. The exhibition was deemed "witty and flamboyant" designs that have dressed stars from Farah Fawcett in 1970s series "Charlie's Angels" to Mick Jagger and Elton John.
