About this deal

Francisco Rabaneda Cuervo (18 February 1934 – 3 February 2023), more commonly known under the pseudonym of Paco Rabanne ( French: [pako ʁaban]; Spanish: [ˈpako raˈβan]), was a Spanish [1] fashion designer. a b "Paco Rabanne: l'hyperview de Thierry Ardisson | Archive INA" . Retrieved 4 February 2023– via YouTube. Paco Rabanne: Celebrated designer dies aged 88". BBC News. 3 February 2023 . Retrieved 3 February 2023. He started his career in fashion by creating jewellery for Givenchy, Dior, and Balenciaga and founded his own fashion house in 1966. [4] He used unconventional material such as metal, paper, and plastic for his metal couture and outlandish and flamboyant designs. [5] For the debut of his namesake brand in 1966, he presented "Manifesto: 12 unwearable dresses in contemporary materials". [1] Although he didn't consider himself a futurist, Rabanne's most famous contribution to the fashion industry was arguably his futurist space age designs. [6] People Magazine journalist Hedy Philips noted that these space age designs "turned the fashion world upside down". [7] In 2011 Manish Arora was named chief designer of Rabanne menswear. Then in 2012 he was replaced in that role by the German fashion designer Lydia Maurer
