Video: LEGO vs J.C. de Castelbajac
- story THE FADER
When we were kids, creating forts with our LEGOs was pretty commonplace. Sometimes we would get a little creative and make our LEGO people ride horses into that fort and or create giant LEGO towers and use them as swords (maybe that’s true for only part of the FADER staff). Still, managing hundreds of tiny colorful LEGO pieces into a moving storyline was beyond our grasp.
Now electro-flash French designer, J.C. de Castelbajac, has created a LEGO-inspired Spring 09 collection. But it seems that LEGO has decided to strike back! A video popped up recently with a virtual runway show of the collection using tiny models in even tinnier J.C. de Castelbajac pieces. Even sunglass-wearing fashion critics are present, clapping and snapping photos of the make-believe scene. We’re starting to wonder, will LEGOs be in the next Terminator movie? Likely not, but at least we know they have good taste.
