He revolutionized the world of fashion in the 1960s and also wrote five books about his work.
Paco Rabanne, French fashion designer of Basque origin, who founded his own haute couture house Paco Rabanne, has died. He passed away at the age of 88. This was reported by Le Monde.
The cause of the star’s death is unknown.
Raban was born on February 18, 1934 in Pasaia, in the province of Gipuzkoa in the Spanish Basque Country,
His real name is Francisco Rabaneda y Cuervo. Modelem plunged into the world of high fashion early thanks to her mother. He worked with the famous Spanish fashion designer Cristobal Balenciaga.
Raban’s father was a colonel of King Alphonse XIII. He was shot by the Francoists, so his mother was forced out of Spain with her four children.
So Raban grew up in the environment of the pragmatism of his mother, who was a staunch socialist, and the shamanism of his grandmother, who was a devout Catholic.
In 1966, Raban presented his first clothing collection in Paris. These are twelve models made of paper, plastic, metal of barefoot white and black girls. He was one of the first to use black fashion models in his fashion shows.
This display was noticed by the international press.
Raban then continued to experiment, creating a collection of clothes from paper, which he considered the clothes of the future. He used geometric progressions, experimented with combining all kinds of materials.
The fashion designer’s collections include fur coats, dresses made of leather, plastic and metal with dried flowers and lace.
But the distinctive feature of Raban is tight clothing in the form of woven chain mail.
In addition, he was the first to use musical accompaniment in his fashion shows instead of the traditional reading of dress numbers and their descriptions.
In 1969, Rabanne created his first perfume Calandre, and in 1973 appeared his men’s fragrance with a blend of floral and woody scents, Paco Rabanne pour Homme. This, according to experts, is a breakthrough in the world of perfume.
Today the Paco Rabanne brand belongs to the Spanish fashion concern Puig. The fashion designer until recently worked in collaboration with Rosemary Rodriguez. He creates clothing collections for this brand.
