A charcacteristic style
Paco Rabanne's reeady to wear colloection, designed by Aurélien Tremblay and Christophe Decarmin, was completely in line with the brand's characteristic style. Straight ultra short sleeveless dresses, most often with boatneck collars, came in a variety of colors, bronzed browns, shocking pink or violet in coated, glossy lacquered or shiny materials, false blacks, and also iridescent hologram fabrics. Tunics in the same form and range of colors were paired with skirts and pants. There were also many mini skirts, in the same materials worn with tank tops or turtlenecks.
Impeccable cream or brown pinstriped trouser suits with large or straight legs are for day wear, along with pants paired with zipped jackets in very dark and shiny shades of brown. The pants sometimes feature loincloth flaps on the sides in contrasting fabrics; a coated fabric paired with wool, or a scintillating hologram with a somber brown fabric. Colorful hologram motifs create brightly toned streaks on the bottoms of pants and on the collars of somber jackets and coats. Luminous effects are also found in the graphic appliqués, diamonds or crosses, seen on fluid dresses either as giant motifs on the bust or in the sequins that adorn the neckline of a long spaghetti strap evening dress, as well as a bustier dress, and on accessories such as bandeaus, purses, fringed scarves, shiny belts sometimes worn in pairs, or on the asymmetrical fringed belts. There is a very daring loincloth mini dress in dark brown coated material that barely closes and silver mini skirts that plays with asymmetry and fringe. For evening there are long or short fluid spaghetti strap dresses in yellow, pink or violet, bustier dresses, and long fluid skirts worn with tank tops or coated fabric tops with boatneck necklines.
