PACO RABANNE
Entering his 10th year at the helm of the French house, Julien Dossena hones and updates his past hits—while setting the stage for his Fall ’23 runway. Channeling the effervescence and sizzling nightlife of 1980 Paris are playful juxtapositions—from sharp, zebra-printed tailoring paired with crystal-strewn trompe l’oeil bustiers to metal mesh teamed with khaki cargos or a Fair Isle knit. Along with statement coats, revived favorites (think: stretch lace and lurex knits), and new tricked-out denim, the metal mesh he uses—which is notably slinky and easy to drape—captures his brilliant flair for balancing Paco Rabannes's heritage with the cool factor and wearability we all crave today.
