Les Abattoirs, the Frac Occitanie Toulouse museum, devotes a major retrospective titled "L'imagination au pouvoir" (Imagination in power) to Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, born in 1949. Organised as an immersive thematic journey punctuated by installations created specially for the occasion, the exhibition brings together nearly three hundred pieces, clothes, drawings, design objects, photographs and accessories, tracing half a century of work in which art and fashion become one through upcycling, accumulation, collage and hybridisation. It also highlights the designer's many collaborations, from Keith Haring to Lady Gaga and Cindy Sherman.
Practical information: Until 23 August 2026, Wednesday to Sunday, 12pm to 6pm (late opening Thursdays until 8pm). Les Abattoirs, 76 allées Charles-de-Fitte, Toulouse, France.
