PACO RABANNE

Mr Paco Rabanne was born in 1934 in Spanish Basque Country. At the age of five, he and his mother, escaped the Spanish Civil War by fleeing to France. After training as an architect, he applied his skills towards avant-garde accessory design, proposing unique creations for several haute couture houses. His iconic chainmail dresses helped define an era of shape-shifting fashion and remain emblematic of the house still today.
