For the Vetements Autumn/Winter 2024-2025 Show, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac revisited his 1991 iconic « Teddy Bear Jacket », which had been influenced by childhood (in March 1999, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac told French bear artist Laurence Veron, in an interview for the British magazine « Teddy Bear Times », that all his inspiration had always come from his childhood, and said that when he became a little more aware of the use of fur in the world, he told himself that the bear was a good « vector » to protest in a sympathetic way against the use of real fur, to sublimate the animal, and the tenderness that the bear inspires).
