From unconventional to unbelievable.
Rabanne was born 18 February 1934 in the Basque town of Pasajes, Gipuzkoa province. He started his career in fashion by creating jewelry for Givenchy, Dior, and Balenciaga and founded his own fashion house in 1966. He used unconventional material such as metal, paper, and plastic for his Metal Couture and outlandish and flamboyant designs. Rabanne is known for his costume designs for such films as the 1968 science-fiction film Barbarella. Françoise Hardy was a big fan of Rabanne's designs. In 1968, he began collaborating with fragrance company Puig, which resulted in the company marketing Rabanne's perfumes.
