Kleren van metaal, popular perfumes and remembering ‘Barbarella’: how was the rebelse ontwerper Paco Rabanne?

Paco Rabanne is on zijn 88ste overleden. For a long time it was the most important figure in the fashion. Zijn first collection noemde hij zelf “ondraagbaar”. The design of the futuristic outfits of Jane Fonda in ‘Barbarella’, had a focus on metal and perfumes that were still popular there. “I’ve had zeven levens geleefd”, say rebel Rabanne ooit.
