Description
Originally an architect, Paco Rabanne experimented with unusual materials in his fashion designs, such as metal, plastic, and paper. In 1969, the year of the moon landing, he created this white dress in the Space Look style using delicately tailored squares of leather connected by metal eyelets. Iconic garments like this dress play an important role in our fashion collection, which focuses primarily on C&A products by illustrating the historical context of fashion trends in research and exhibitions.
