Back Paco Rabanne

Think Barbarella (just her, the sexy heroine who fought in enemy space squeezed in overalls pre-Lady Gaga) and transfer it into a Bollywood film set in Indian press wrapped style. Absurd? Perhaps, but that's what could happen soon. The fashion house Paco Rabanne in fact (which at the time, looks a bit ', he designed the costumes of the legendary film with Jane Fonda) has announced that its revival on the stage will be led by Manish Arora, Indian designer famous for his colorful prints.

Curious choice, no doubt, especially if you look at the curriculum vitae of the brand over the last ten years due to the abandonment of the scenes from the creator of his namesake had lost its luster, but that during the seventies- Eighty had an extremely innovative approach to fashion materials using "unorthodox" and thus earning a comment lapidary Coco Chanel Rabanne he called "more of a blacksmith who is a stylist." A negative assessment of where the designer had made the most designing a bag full of steel, the chain mail bag, quickly became a cult and recognized by the Design Museum in London as one of the 50 scholarships that have changed the history of fashion.

It is no coincidence that it is from there that the House wanted to start again: last month it announced the first step toward recovery with a partnership with Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo, who has reviewed the chain bag in 9 versions for sale in some selected stores until the end of February.

A collaboration with the head designer of Comme des Garcons, which inaugurates a series of operations to partnering with more or less well-known designers, but all share a vision untraditional fashion (the next is with Judy Blame, who worked among the others with Bjork and Boy George, for a line of jewelry that will be launched in March).

Certainly very consistent with the heritage of the brand, so that one would expect of such a name for the role of creative director. But if it is matched by the more unusual the most interesting ideas that come not just have to wait: the first collection designed by Manish Arora, one for Spring / Summer 2012, will march in October during the fashion week in Paris.
