Paco Rabanne, born in 1934 in Spain, became one of the most innovative designers of the 20th century. His early career began in architecture, which influenced his unconventional approach to fashion design. He rose to fame in 1966 with his groundbreaking collection, "Twelve Unwearable Dresses in Contemporary Materials," where he used materials like metal, plastic, and paper, breaking away from traditional fabrics. His designs, including the iconic chainmail dresses, made a huge impact on the Space Age fashion movement and earned him a reputation as an avant-garde designer. Rabanne also ventured into costume design for films like Barbarella (1968), solidifying his legacy in both fashion and cinema
