Product Note

Keith Haringly-trained street artist, fashion designer of the stars, teddy bear couturier, and all-around sartorial sage, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s creations have enchanted the creatively curious for decades. From Warhol to Kanye and Beyonce to Basquiat, he has collaborated with some of the most influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. One of his most celebrated silhouettes is the impractically practical and absurdly sophisticated Teddy Bear Coat. It has been rendered in different iterations for over 30 years and donned by everyone from Madonna to Drake. This bespoke Forest Camo Teddy Bear Jacket was created exclusively for the Just Phriends auction. Mr. de Castelbajac references a camouflage motif and based the coat on a US military M65 coat, as an acknowledgment of Pharrell’s affinity for camo and vintage military aesthetics. In keeping with the teddy bear theme, this lot will also be accompanied by a pair of Teddy Bear print ICECREAM sneakers.Â
