Who was Paco Rabanne, the rebellious designer who made “unwearable” dresses?

Paco Rabanne passed away at the age of 88. For sixty years he was one of fashion’s foremost figures. He himself called his first collection “unwearable”. He designed the futuristic outfits of Jane Fonda in ‘Barbarella’, had a penchant for metals and his perfumes were even more popular than his clothes. “I have lived seven lives,” rebel Rabanne once said.
