Paco Rabanne Brings a Retro Footprint to Paris Fashion Week
Creative Director Julien Dossena continues his effort to make Paco Rabanne resonate with a young audience, but without clinging to the modernities of streetwear. The Fall/Winter 2021 collection maintains the retro footprint the brand is known for, with midi skirts and lace adorning the collars of dresses and jackets. The tradition of designer Paco Rabanne—who became famous for producing clothes with diverse and unthinkable materials—appears as shiny dresses, in which the glitter of lamés and brocades refer to the house's signature chainmail. Dossena also highlights the stones that adorn the clothes this season, directly honoring the origins of Rabanne, who started his career as a jeweler.
