Paco Rabanne, renowned for material mixing and futuristic creations, left an indelible mark on fashion with extreme material combinations like plastic, mesh, and metal. born amid the Spanish Civil War, Rabanne, inspired by his mother's tailoring skills at Balenciaga, developed a keen sense of fashion early on. After studying architecture and working as an accessory designer for years, he unveiled his first Haute Couture collection at the age of 32. His Prêt-à-Porter creations featuring revolutionary fabric combinations, notably the metal chain mail shirt, became a hallmark. Rabanne successfully fused cutting-edge technology with feminine fashion, and his creations such as the "Moulded Dress” made of metal plates are unforgettable. In 1999, he chose to leave the label, but his second love, perfume, endured. The brand is carried on by various successors, and since 2013, Chief Designer Julien Dossena continues the tradition of material mixing and futuristic creations.
