Paco Rabanne is one of my favorites! Here is some deets and my tribute to Paco
One of my favorite things was the costumes he did for Barbarella staring Jane Fonda. He was an architect, fashion designer, fragrance maker, designs home furnishings and makes table wear, men's skin care, does things with leather, in the alcohol biz and in condo development. He did amazing things with metal and turned them into clothes along with other things making a lifestyle brand with things that are hip and trendy. He also created sexy ads
Here are some videos of things he did, costumes for Barbarella, ads, with some pictures and info his website. check out the mythical dresses
