The legendary fashion designer Paco Raban flew to heaven, who showed that it is not necessary to make clothes only from fabric.

It became known that Paco Raban, a fashion designer who revolutionized the world of fashion, went to heaven. He passed away at the age of 88. Le Monde reports. The reason for sudden withdrawal is not called.



GettyImages Edition "Site" I sincerely sympathize with everyone who knew the designer. Today we recall the life of the fashion designer and his main achievements.

Paco Raban: fashion designer who changed the world of fashion Paco Raban was born on February 18, 1934 in Pasaya, in the province of Gipuzcoa in the Spanish Basque Country. His real name is Francisco Rabaneda y Cuervo. His mother worked for the famous Spanish designer Cristobal Balenciaga. Since childhood, the fashion designer was immersed in the world of high fashion.

In his youth, the fashion designer studied architecture, but did not work by profession. However, the knowledge gained during his studies greatly influenced the clothes and accessories he created.



GettyImages' thing was to use new materials. For example, he used rhodoid, a high-quality plastic based on acetyl cellulose. He had a whole collection of bright and inexpensive jewelry. Light and colored products quickly attracted young people.



In 1966, Raban presented his first clothing collection in Paris. It was a real revolution! After all, it was clothes made of paper, plastic and metal. All this represented barefoot black models. He was one of the first to invite black models. That show made a splash. The international press talked about him.



GettyImages' success spurred the fashion designer to experiment further. He created a collection of paper outfits. He called it the clothes of the future. Also among his projects were clothing made of leather and metal, chain mail dresses with the addition of dry flowers and lace. He experimented with combining all kinds of materials. A distinctive feature of his collections were tight dresses in the form of wicker chain mail.



GettyImages was also the first to use musical accompaniment in his show. Before him, during the show, the number of outfits and their description were read out.

Couturier is also known as a costume designer for theater and cinema. His costumes have appeared in over 35 films. One of his main works is the costume of Jane Fonda in the fantastic film Barbarella. It looks like it is at least a century ahead of its era. Amazing work!



Now the brand Paco Rabanne belongs to the fashion concern Puig. Raban worked until the last in collaboration with Rosemary Rodriguez. The fashion world will miss a great maestro. After all, his work was really incredible. At the end of last year, the talented and extraordinary Vivienne Westwood left us. Irreparable loss. Blessings to the great creators!
