Paco Rabanne, the Spanish-born designer, has died at the age of 88 in Portsall, Brittany
His flamboyant designs frequently used unconventional material such as metal, paper, and plastic, with his first collection aptly titled:"Manifesto: 12 unwearable dresses in contemporary materials".
The collection - which simultaneously looked both futuristic and medieval - has gone on to inspire numerous contemporary designers. Commenting on the influential 1966 show, president of Puig's beauty and fashion division Jose Manuel Albesa said:"Paco Rabanne made transgression magnetic. Who else could induce fashionable Parisian women clamour for dresses made of plastic and metal."
His debut fragrance, Calandre, is still available today, and his Lady Million Eau de Parfum - presented in a distinctive bottle in the shape of a gold ingot - remains a best-seller.Born in 1934 in the Basque Country, in the western Pyrenees, he escaped the Spanish Civil War by fleeing to France at the age of five alongside his mother, who was a head seamstress at Balenciaga.
