CHARLES ANASTASE
Destined to pursue a creative métier, cult fashion designer and illustrator Charles Anastase was born in 1979 to an academic French mother and Armenian architect father. Charles studied Political Sciences at the Lycee Charlemagne in Paris and embarked upon his career as an artist in 2002. His captivating and poignant pencil drawings travelled the world in a series of successful exhibitions in Paris, Vienna, Tokyo and Mexico. Charles’ ethereal and often nostalgic collections are born of the desire to capture the beauty of the 19th century Victorian images, which have captivated him since childhood. Reminiscent of the demi-couture, which was the zeitgeist of this period for young ladies, Charles’ signature silhouettes evoke a naivety yet are executed with the precision of the tailors of Savile Row. Chic and conservative yet playful, Charles Anastase is now based in London and his collection is available at world’s most prestigious stores.
