Founded in 1966 by Paco RABANNE (born Francisco RABANEDA y CUERVO), the Paco Rabanne fashion house has forged a unique identity for itself, a synthesis of avant-garde contemporary style and innovative know-how. To launch his eponymous brand in 1966, he presented a first collection: “12 unwearable dresses in contemporary materials”. In the following years, he broke the codes and created original pieces that were both sculptural and seductive in molded plastic, hammered metal, aluminum jersey and knitted fur. His legendary chainmail dresses would define a new era, evolving forms in a style that is still emblematic of the house to this day.
