PACO RABANNE DESIGNER HISTORY
Paco Rabanne was born in 1934 in San Sebastian, Spain. During his early years, Paco’s mother was employed as Balenciaga’s chief seamstress. Eventually, due to the family’s political affiliation, Paco and his family were forced to take exile in France, where in 1952; he studied architecture at the legendary Beaux-Arts School in Paris. During that time, Paco made money by selling sketches and producing fashion accessories for the likes of Cardin, Courreges, Balenciaga and Givenchy.
In 1966, Paco Rabanne held his first fashion show, featuring paper dresses that were sold in envelopes. The following year, he became one of the first designers to create form-fitted clothing. In 1990, the designer unveiled his first line of ready-to-wear clothing, highly regarded for its use of innovative materials and modern, clean lines. Paco Rabanne eventually turned his full concentration to designing ready-to-wear clothing in 1999 as that type of fashion was becoming more prevalent. Today, the Paco Rabanne brand is led by Artistic Director Patrick Robinson, who took over the role in 2005.
