Charles Anastase is a designer and illustrator based in London, whose collections seem to be tailored for a remake of a modern day Alice in Wonderland. His latest show was labeled after a 1970 quote from Yoko Ono, “John’s something more abstract.” Although his latest collection is ground breaking avant-garde, the Spring 09 RTW is still what I believe to be the zeitgeist of the brand. In collaboration with Linda Farrow the brand created the “Tennessee” glasses after the drummer of the band The Like, Tennessee Thomas. Tennessee’s style reflects the brand concept of a Muse that is “Naïve, spontaneous, abstract, gothic” so well, that it might just be that her closet is an actual Charles Anastase store. How do you know I’m mad?
