Paco Rabanne passed away today at the age of 88. The couturier, who used unusual materials such as metal, paper and plastic for his looks, was named by Coco Chanel as the "Metallurgist of fashion".

He began by creating jewelery for <a href="https://www.lofficielitalia.com/fashion-week/givenchy-sfilata-uomo-autunno-inverno-2023-24-collezione-foto-look" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Givenchy</a> , <a href="https://www.lofficielitalia.com/fashion-week/dior-e-l-omaggio-alle-sue-muse-per-opera-di-mickalene-thomas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dior</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielitalia.com/news/balenciaga-collab-con-adidas-bella-hadid-foto-immagini-look" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Balenciaga</a> in the 1960s, and then founded his own fashion house in 1966. A Forerunner of fashion and always avant-garde, <a href="https://www.lofficielitalia.com/fashion-week/paco-rabanne-sfilata-primavera-estate-2023-collezione-foto-look" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paco Rabanne</a> was the inventor of the miniskirt - yes, before Mary Quant , to whom we owe the success of the iconic Swinging London garment, and who used unusual materials such as plastic, paper and metal plates in her work to create clothes that have marked the history of the fashion. Thanks to the use of metal he was able to forge modular chain mail, with a medieval or surrealist flavor and <a href="https://www.lofficielitalia.com/moda/coco-chanel-fidanzati-uomini-storia-moda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coco Chanel</a> herself gave him the nickname that he carried with him throughout his career.

The first stylist ever to use music on the catwalk,&nbsp; and created the stage costumes for the films &ldquo;Barbarella&rdquo; with Jane Fonda and &ldquo;Two for the Road&rdquo; with Audrey Hepburn are cult pieces of his immense work.

Born Francisco Rabaneda Cuervo, the designer fled Spain in the 1930s due to the civil war that bloodied the Iberian country at the end of that decade, a prelude to the much larger Second World War. He arrived in Paris, where he studied architecture. However, he immediately made his way into the fashion world,&nbsp; and would soon to be known as an enfant prodigie.
