THURSDAY: DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT
Recommendation: Bridgett, TREND Staff Writer
Paco Rabanne is a Franco-Spanish designer who has paved the way for designers of the world. When he was 18, he attended the National School of Art where he was inspired to make his very first accessories.
In 1966, his first collection featured unconventional materials such as metals and was amusingly titled 12 Dresses from the Material That Cannot Be Worn. Rabanne's collection was both revolutionary and daring. He introduced entirely new materials consequently opening the doors for even more creativity to flow through the fashion gates. He even made paper dresses that were sold in envelopes, playing with the idea of disposable clothing. Rabanne is an example of a true artistic visionary.
